A simple and delicious summer dessert featuring caramelized grilled peaches topped with creamy vanilla bean ice cream. Quick to prepare and perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches (freestone preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • Vanilla bean ice cream (about 2 large scoops or 1 cup per serving)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • Chopped toasted pecans (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Wash and dry peaches. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss peach halves with brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon if using. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Brush the cut side of each peach half with softened butter.
  5. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and sugar caramelizes.
  6. Flip peaches and grill skin side for an additional 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Remove peaches from grill and let cool slightly for a couple of minutes.
  8. Place 2 grilled peach halves in each serving bowl.
  9. Top each serving with about 2 large scoops (1 cup) of vanilla bean ice cream.
  10. Optionally drizzle leftover melted butter and sugar over the sundae and sprinkle with toasted pecans or fresh mint.
  11. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results. Handle very ripe peaches gently to avoid mushiness. If no grill is available, broil peaches in the oven for 4-5 minutes or use a hot cast-iron skillet. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free vanilla ice cream. Keep a spray bottle of water handy to control grill flare-ups. A thin coating of brown sugar is ideal to prevent burning. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance sweetness.
