Recipe Key

Sweet Spice Grilled Peaches is an easy to make dessert that elevates a simple peach to a sublime dessert.ย  It only takes 5 minutes to make.Grilled Sweet and Spicy Peaches
What could be better than a perfectly ripe peach? ย A peach that gives off its sweet aroma while sittingย on the kitchen counter. A peach that can barely contain its own juices. ย  Take that peach in your hand, stand outside on the lawn, lean over slightlyย and slurp it down. ย The perfect summer dessert.

But there are only so many peaches you can eat out of hand. ย Peach cobblerย is an indulgent way to savor the summer fruit but it requires a little planning ahead of time. ย I only make cobbler in the morning when I can use the oven before the day heats up.

Grilled peaches are the way to go when you have summer peaches you want to turn into an incredible dessert on the spot. ย  Grilling peaches makes them even sweeter.ย  Grilling can elevate mediocre peaches to excellence and great ones to sublimity. ย The recipe that follows is a simple one.

I combine sweet cinnamon and smoked paprika together with a little oil.ย  If you don’t have smoked paprika or you don’t like that smoky flavor leave it out.

I use coconut oil which is always in liquid form this time of year from the summer heat. ย Olive oil also works well.

Grilled PeachesCut peaches in half and coat both sides with the oil and spice mixture. ย I use a combination of dipping and rubbing. ย Place on a medium hot grill until soft and lightly toasted. Turn to cook on the other side.

Don’t worry if you don’t have the spices, simply dab the cut fruit with a little oil and place on a hot grill. They are fabulous plain too.

The result is a sublime peach dessert. For additional sweetness drizzle a little honey onto the hot peaches. ย If your peaches are sweet you won’t need it.

If youย have a can of coconut milk chilling in the refrigerator you can elevate the dish toย phenomenalย by whipping up some coconut whipped cream to serve on top. ย  I keep a can of coconut milk chilling in the refrigerator all summer long toย use for whipped cream on fruits or berries.
