Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 plums, halved and pitted
- 1 pineapple, cut into rings
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your grill by preheating to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Wash and prepare the fruits: Halve the peaches and plums, removing the pits. Cut the pineapple into thick rings approximately 1/2 inch thick. Pat the fruit dry with paper towels to ensure good caramelization.
- Lightly brush the fruit surfaces with a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil to prevent sticking and enhance grill marks.
- Place the fruit cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes without moving, allowing beautiful grill marks to form and natural sugars to caramelize.
- Carefully flip the fruits and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until they are soft and have distinct grill marks.
- While fruits are grilling, prepare the French vanilla dip by whisking together Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Remove grilled fruits from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly.
- Arrange the grilled fruits on a serving platter and serve warm with the French vanilla dip on the side.
Tips
- Choose ripe but firm fruits for the best grilling results - they should be soft enough to caramelize but not mushy.
- Always clean and oil your grill grates to prevent sticking and achieve those picture-perfect grill marks.
- Pat fruits dry before grilling to ensure proper caramelization and prevent steaming.
- Don't move fruits around too much while grilling - let them develop beautiful char lines.
- Experiment with different fruits like mangoes, bananas, or even watermelon for variety.
- Serve the dip chilled for a delightful temperature contrast with warm grilled fruits.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey to your French vanilla dip.
