A perfect finish to a wonderful Father’s Day celebration is our recipe for How to Grill Peach Summertime Dessert!

We are very fond of peaches and after peach pie, peach tarts, peaches & cream, etc., we have found a dessert that is both simple and delicious, and can be served any time fresh peaches are available.

How to Grill Peach Summertime Dessert:

Type: Dessert Recipe

Prep Time: 20 min
Grill Time: 10 min
Yield: 6 – 8 servings

Ingredients:

8 – 10 peaches – ripe but firm, peeled, halved & pitted
1 cup pineapple – fresh or canned, cubed
1/2 cup sliced almonds or pecan quarters
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 cups of sweetened whipped cream – I use 1 tbsp of confectioners sugar added to the cream when it half way whipped and then continue till nice peaks form.
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp vanilla extract – I use Epicureal Pure Bourbon Vanilla Extract.
2 tbsp coconut – lightly toasted

Instructions:

Preheat your outdoor grill until hot.
Grill peach halves on each side until grill marks show and the peaches have turned slightly golden.
Remove peaches from grill and when cooled, cut each peach half into quarters and place in serving bowl.
Add pineapple cubes, nuts, mayo and brown sugar to the peaches and gently stir. Then refrigerate until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, stir whipped cream into peach mixture and combine well.
Sprinkle toasted coconut over top of the peach dessert and serve cold.
