Grilled peaches with ice cream and berries
Cooking and baking? Yes but less in the summer please.
Recently we had a heatwave over here in the UK so switching the oven on was an impossible task. Even for a passionate cook.
Cold foods like salads, raw vegetables, mozzarella and prosciutto, lots of fruit and ice creams are definitely on the menu right now.
If you fancy something easy this summer try grilling some peaches on your griddle pan then top them with vanilla ice cream and a quick berry sauce you can make in minutes. Peaches are one of the most delicious and sweet fruit of summer. They make beautiful tarts too.
I could live just on fruit and ice creams right now.. especially Italian ice creams.
- Prep Time : 17 minutes
- Cook Time : 2 minutes
- Yield : 4
Ingredients
- peaches - 2
- brown sugar - 2 tbsp
- butter - knob
- vanilla ice cream - 4 scoops
- frozen or fresh berries - 200 g - 2 cups
Instructions
Put the berries in a pan with the sugar and cook them over a gentle heat for about 15 minutes. Stir from time to time.
Wash and dry the peaches, slice them in half and remove the stone with a teaspoon.
Brush the pulp with a little butter. Heat up a griddle pan and then lay the peaches halves on it. Leave them there for a couple of minutes until you get those lovely griddle marks on top.
Put a scoop of ice cream onto each peach half and pour some berry sauce on top.
Serve immediately.

We have been having lots of peaches and other stone fruit lately too. This is simple, quick and divine! You too have a great weekend, Alida.
Thanks Angie!
It has been really too hot to bake, I agree. But fruit is always welcome and refreshing when the sun comes out and the temperatures rise. I love the lines across the peaches from the griddle pan…. x
Yes I could easily survive on veggies and fruit alone in the summer.. well until dinner time.
Just beautiful! I heard about your heat wave. And I’ve stayed in London during one heat wave at a hotel with no air circulation!
Gosh. Over here we are not used to hot weather, at least not as hot as it has been recently!
I do not understand this, I cannot move this to my E-mail and I would love to have this recipe, PLEASE.
Thank you
Hi Mary,
I have tried sending it to myself; in the field “from” you need to enter an email address. You can enter the same email you have entered in the field “To”.
Interesting idea! I sure have never thought of grilling peaches before. And of course, you can never fail with vanilla ice cream. I love vanilla ice cream!
Kudos on a great dessert recipe! Can’t wait to try it myself.
Thanks Gisella, enjoy it!
