Grilled desserts are the best way to beat the heat and stay out of the kitchen during the summer. While pies and cakes have their place at the table, if you’re firing up the grill for a backyard bash, why not cap off the meal with an al fresco treat right off the hot grates? Our Grilled Peaches with Coconut Ice Cream recipe takes advantage of nature’s bounty for an easy yet elegant finale to any summer gathering.
Fresh fruit is ideal for this outdoor cooking method. In fact, when fruit comes in contact with fire, wonderful things happen! The heat caramelizes sugars, adds a hint of smoke, intensifies flavor and helps release juices. And it’s not just for peaches — try nectarines, plums, pineapple, mango and more. For this Grilled Peaches with Coconut Ice Cream recipe, we make an easy ginger syrup. We spread some on the fruit before cooking, then drizzle on the rest at the end. So yummy!
