Grilling peaches transforms them into a warm, jammy dessert with edges that taste like caramel candy. Choose freestone peaches that are ripe but still firm for the best results.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush peach halves with melted butter on the cut side.
Place peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook 3-4 minutes without moving until char marks appear.
Flip and grill another 2-3 minutes until warmed through and slightly softened.
Transfer to plates and top each half with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with toasted pecans and cinnamon, and serve immediately.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving
Same cook time, equally delicious
