This recipe features perfectly grilled peaches caramelized with a brown sugar bourbon glaze, served warm with creamy vanilla ice cream for a nostalgic and delicious summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup good-quality bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375–400°F (190–204°C), for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pits.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, bourbon, melted butter, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  4. Brush the cut sides of the peaches generously with the brown sugar bourbon glaze. Reserve some glaze for basting during grilling.
  5. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 4–5 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften.
  6. Carefully turn the peaches over using tongs. Brush more glaze on the skin side and grill for another 3–4 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
  7. Transfer peaches to serving plates. Spoon any remaining glaze over the top, then add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use peaches that are slightly firm to avoid mushiness on the grill. Preheat the grill well to get good caramelization. If glaze thickens too much while resting, gently warm it before basting. Vanilla ice cream should be very cold and scooped just before serving for best hot-cold contrast. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use non-dairy vanilla ice cream. If no grill is available, a cast iron skillet or broiler can be used as alternatives.
