Listen, I love a fancy dessert, but sometimes I just want something quick, easy, and that’s where my grilled peaches come in. Once off the grill, I top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, maybe a sprig of mint or a handful of chopped walnuts and just like that dessert is done. They’re quick, flavorful and always a hit.

Ingredient Breakdown
- Brown sugar – Adds deep, caramel-like sweetness that complements the peaches beautifully.
- Cinnamon – Adds warmth and spice to balance the sweetness.
- Butter – Helps the cinnamon sugar stick and enhances the caramelization on the grill.
- Peaches – Juicy, ripe peaches hold up well on the grill and taste incredible when charred. Look for ones that are slightly firm to the touch.
What toppings go well with grilled peaches?
Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, honey drizzle, mint, chopped nuts, or even a dollop of mascarpone or Greek yogurt.
Faqs for this recipe
Yes! Use a grill pan or a hot cast iron skillet on the stove for a similar effect.
Use ripe but firm peaches. If they’re too soft, they’ll fall apart on the grill.
They’re best served fresh off the grill, but you can prep the cinnamon sugar mix and pit the peaches ahead of time.
