Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 ripe peaches
- 2 ripe nectarines
Others
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 8 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- Honey, for drizzling
- Sea salt, flaky, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Grill Heat your grill to medium high heat to ensure it is hot enough for perfect caramelization and grill marks on the fruit.
- Prepare Fruit Brush the halved peaches and nectarines lightly with canola oil to prevent sticking and enhance grilling.
- Grill Fruit Place the oiled peach and nectarine halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes total, rotating them 90 degrees halfway through to create crosshatch grill marks and even caramelization.
- Serve Use tongs to carefully remove the grilled fruit from the grill. Place each half on a serving plate and top the center with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Finish Drizzle honey over the grilled fruit and ice cream, then sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt to balance the sweetness and elevate the flavors.
Notes
- Select peaches and nectarines that are just ripe—juicy but firm enough to hold their shape on the grill.
- Use canola oil or another neutral oil to avoid overpowering the fruit’s natural sweetness.
- For a vegan version, substitute the vanilla ice cream with a plant-based alternative.
- Serving immediately after grilling ensures the best contrast of warm fruit and cold ice cream.
