Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 can coconut cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the peaches under cold water and pat them dry. Carefully cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Set the peach halves aside.
- Next, take the can of coconut cream out of the refrigerator. Open the can and scoop out the solidified cream into a mixing bowl, leaving the watery liquid behind. Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the coconut cream until it becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the whipped coconut cream and mix until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more honey. Once done, set the whipped coconut cream aside in the refrigerator to keep it cool.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey and the balsamic vinegar. Mix well to create a honey balsamic drizzle. Set this aside for later use.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened.
- Carefully flip the peaches over and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes on the rounded side, until they are tender and warm throughout.
- Once the peaches are done grilling, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
- To serve, spoon a generous dollop of whipped coconut cream onto each grilled peach half. Drizzle the honey balsamic mixture over the top.
- Garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added flavor. Enjoy your delicious grilled peaches with whipped coconut cream and honey balsamic drizzle!
Tips
- Choose ripe but firm peaches for grilling. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
- Make sure your grill or grill pan is preheated to medium heat to achieve beautiful caramelization without burning.
- For best whipped coconut cream results, refrigerate the can overnight so the cream separates completely from the liquid.
- Use fresh mint leaves for garnish—they add a bright, refreshing contrast to the rich, sweet flavors.
- If you don't have a grill, a grill pan or even a hot cast-iron skillet works perfectly for this recipe.
- Serve immediately after grilling to enjoy the peaches at their warmest and most flavorful.
