    I made this recipe a long time about at a tasty dinner with both my and Justin's parents. This simple summer dessert is a modern version of peaches and cream. That night, everyone went absolutely nuts over them, and as you can imagine, there were no leftovers!

    I love that grilling makes the skin of the peaches loosen so you can enjoy bites of peach and ice cream without any fuzzy skin. The honey and a bit of cinnamon add the perfect flavor any grilled fruit. I like to finish the ice cream off with a drizzle of honey and a couple fresh thyme leaves to make these a more special elevated dessert, without all the hassle.

    This is by far the most simple of all the summer peach recipes out there. Once you try it, you will be making this grilled peaches recipe alllll summer long!

    Tips for making grilled peaches and cream

    • Spray the grill with cooking spray before heating to prevent sticking.
    • When grilling, I like to start with them flat side down. Be careful not to burn it!
    • I brush the honey and sprinkle the cinnamon onto the flat side after turning it, as the honey will make it burn quickly if it's directly on the burner.
    • I like to let it cook a couple minutes on the skin side to help loosen the skin a tiny bit.
    • It's a good idea to pre-scoop the ice cream. You can store it on a small sheet pan lined with parchment or wax paper in the freezer until you're read to serve.

    Do peaches need to be ripe to grill?

    I'd encourage you to work with ripe peaches, as unripe ones tend to be a bit tart. That said, try not to use super soft peaches, as they might turn mushy.

    How do you cut a peach in half on the grill?

    I use a paring knife to do this. If you look at the peach, there is a natural seam. Use this as your guide and run your knife all around it. Then carefully twist both halves in opposite direction to split the cut peach into two halves.

    How do you remove peach pits?

    If it doesn't easily pop out, you can use a paring knife to cut around the pit for easier removal.

    Can you cut peaches ahead of time?

    I wouldn't recommend it, as they brown easily once cut.

    How long do grilled peaches last?

    Although these are at their best consumed immediately after cooking, they leftover grilled peaches will last a couple days in the fridge.

    How do you reheat grilled peach leftovers?

    I'd either reheat them covered in the oven at 350 until heated through or in the microwave.

    5. Remove peaches from the grill and serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of honey and a couple of fresh thyme leaves.
