how to make Grilled Peaches with Pistachio, Honey, and Ice Cream
Ingredients :
- 8 peaches (ripe)
- 1/4 cup pistachios (shelled)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 2 tbsp oil (flavor-neutral like vegetable oil)
- 4 tbsp honey
Directions :
- Start by cutting the peaches in half and separating the two halves. Carefully remove the pits. Be sure to choose ripe peaches, as overripe ones may crush when you try to split them.
- Lightly coat the flesh side of each peach half with oil.
- Preheat your grill to medium high heat. To prevent sticking, wipe the grill grate with some oil or spray it with cooking spray before turning on the grill.
- Place the peaches on the grill with the flesh side down. Close the grill lid to help them soften. After a few minutes, give each peach half a half turn to create nice grill marks. You’ll notice them caramelizing as they cook.
- When the peaches are softened, take them off the grill and place them on a serving platter.
- Top your grilled peaches with honey, chopped pistachios, and a scoop of ice cream. Serve immediately for the best taste!

how to store Grilled Peaches with Pistachio, Honey, and Ice Cream
It’s best to enjoy grilled peaches right after making them. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. However, when it comes to ice cream, it should be kept in the freezer and can last much longer.
