Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and dry 4 large ripe peaches. Cut them in half and carefully remove the pits. Optionally brush the cut sides lightly with about 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to prevent browning and add brightness.
- Using a pastry brush, coat the peach halves on the cut side with about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and help caramelize the surface.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).
- Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving them until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften.
- Flip carefully using tongs or a spatula and grill the skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
- While peaches grill, pour 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled heavy cream into a cold mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
- Arrange grilled peaches on plates, cut side up. Spoon or pipe dollops of cinnamon whipped cream over the top. Optionally sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or drizzle honey.
Notes
Brush peaches with oil or butter to prevent sticking and get caramelized grill marks. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Avoid overwhipping cream to prevent grainy texture. If no grill is available, broil peaches in oven for 5-7 minutes watching carefully.
