Ingredients

Scale
  • Two peaches, halved and pitted 
  • 2 tsp of neutral-flavored oil
  • 2 tbsp of coconut or brown sugar
  • ½ tsp of cinnamon 
  • 2 tbsp chopped toasted walnuts 
  • 1 tbsp basil cut into ribbons or chiffonade 
  • 2 scoops of coconut ice cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.  You’ll know it hot enough when you can hold your hand an inch above the grate for 3-4 seconds.
  2. Lightly brush the peaches with oil.
  3. Set the peaches, cut side down, a few inches apart on the medium-hot grill.
  4. Do not move the peaches for 2-3 mins.  Cook the peaches until grill marks forms, turning as necessary make a crisscross mark for best presentation.
  5. Turn the peach halves over, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
  6. Cook until peaches are tender, but not falling apart.  About 8 mins total.
  7. Remove from heat.  Place two halves in a small dessert bowl.
  8. Top with coconut ice cream, chiffonade basil and chopped walnuts.
  9. Serve immediately
