Grilled Peaches with Ice Cream
Once you start grilling these sweet and sunny stone fruits, you’ll be making them all season long! Grilled peaches make the perfect healthy summer dessert, with ice cream and caramel sauce to add a bit of indulgence. This is a super simple and quick ice cream dessert, with only five ingredients. If you want to watch the calories, serve the grilled peaches on their own.

- ▢ ¼ cup chopped nuts 28 grams, optional
Instructions
- Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. 4 ripe peaches
- Lightly brush or spray the inside of each peach half with olive oil. 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Place on grill (medium/medium-high heat), cut side down, and grill for approximately 5 minutes. The peaches should be tender and warmed through, but not burnt.
- Top with ice cream, hot caramel sauce, and nuts, if desired. 16 ounces vanilla bean ice cream, ¼ cup chopped nuts, ¼ cup caramel sauce
Equipment
- Kitchen Scale (optional)
Becky’s Tips
- When buying peaches, make sure they are slightly soft, dark yellow, and round.
- Resist the temptation to reposition the peaches once they’re on the grill — good grill marks on peaches are the result of patience (and clean grill grates). The peaches don’t need much cooking–just enough to heat them through.
- Plan on at least one peach half per person, but be prepared for seconds!

How to Make Grilled Peaches and Ice Cream Step by Step
Cut the peaches: Cut 4 ripe peaches in half and remove the pits.
Brush the peaches: Lightly brush or spray the inside of each peach half with olive oil.
Grill the peaches: Place the peaches on a medium/medium-high heat grill, cut side down, and grill for approximately 5 minutes. The peaches should be tender and warmed through, but not burnt.
Top and serve : Top with 16 ounces vanilla bean ice cream, 1/4 cup hot caramel sauce, and 1/4 cup chopped nuts, if desired.
Storage
Store grilled peaches (without ice cream) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serving Suggestions
Grilled peaches also make a great side with pork. I suggest skipping the ice cream if you serve the peaches as a side dish, but I promise, I won’t judge! Pair these peaches with crispy breaded pork chops, or a hearty stuffing stuffed pork roast for a delicious seasonal meal!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
