Ingredients

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Pinch of sea salt
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
How to Make Grilled Peaches with Chocolate Sauce
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are glowing and covered with ash.
- Brush the cut sides of the peach halves with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Place the peaches, cut side down, on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened.
- While the peaches are grilling, prepare the chocolate sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.
- Once the peaches are grilled, carefully remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter, cut side up.
- Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce generously over the grilled peaches.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Choose peaches that are slightly firm but ripe for the best grilling results.
- Don’t overcook the peaches; they should be tender but still hold their shape.
- For a unique twist, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the chocolate sauce for extra depth of flavor.
Easy Variations
- Swap out dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for an extra indulgent treat.
- Experiment with spices by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the chocolate sauce.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream or gelato.
- A dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche.
- A glass of sweet dessert wine or a refreshing summer cocktail.
- Crushed nuts or granola for added texture.
Storage and Reheating
Grilled peaches are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy cold as a refreshing snack. The chocolate sauce can also be stored separately and reheated as needed.
