Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky caramelized grilled peaches drizzled with nutty brown butter and served with creamy vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice each in half and carefully remove the pit. Lightly brush the cut sides with lemon juice and set aside.
  2. Place 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat. Melt slowly, stirring occasionally until the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Sprinkle the cut sides of the peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon if using.
  5. Place peaches cut side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving until char marks appear and peaches soften. Flip and grill skin side for another 2 minutes to warm through.
  6. Remove peaches from the grill and arrange on serving plates. Spoon warm brown butter evenly over the peach halves.
  7. Top each peach half with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.

Notes

Use slightly firm peaches for best grilling texture. Brown butter slowly over medium heat to avoid burning. Lemon juice prevents peaches from browning and adds brightness. Serve immediately for best contrast between warm peaches and cold ice cream. For dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and coconut or almond milk-based ice cream. Peaches can be swapped with nectarines or plums with adjusted grilling times.
