When it comes to grilling, preheating your grill is a crucial step that should never be overlooked. Not only does preheating ensure that the grill reaches the ideal temperature for cooking, but it also promotes even cooking throughout the fruit. Whether you're grilling peaches or any other type of fruit, a properly preheated grill will help to caramelize the sugars on the surface, enhancing the natural sweetness of the peaches. This is particularly important for achieving that perfect char while keeping the insides tender and juicy.

Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 cup creamy vanilla ice cream

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Optional: Honey for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan to medium heat to ensure that it’s hot and ready for the peaches.

    Prepare the Peaches: In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir well to create a uniform mixture. Take the peach halves and sprinkle this delicious topping generously into the cavity of each peach half, allowing the flavors to infuse during grilling.

      Grill the Peaches: Carefully place the peach halves cut side down onto the preheated grill. Grill them for about 4-5 minutes until you see beautiful grill marks and the peaches start to soften. Then, gently flip the peaches over, placing a small pat of butter on top of each half. Grill for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the butter to melt and impart rich flavor into the peaches.

        Serve: After grilling, remove the peaches from the heat and allow them to cool slightly for about a minute. For serving, place each warm peach half on a plate and top it with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. If desired, drizzle honey over the ice cream for an added touch of sweetness. Finish with a sprig of fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and freshness.

          Enjoy: Dig into this delightful dessert, enjoying the warm, caramelized peaches paired with the cool ice cream and aromatic mint!
