Equipment

Ingredients

4 ripe peaches halved and pitted
melted butter for brushing
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ¼ cups heavy cream divided
⅓ cup confectioners sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Brush the cut side of the peaches with some melted butter and grill cut-side down for 3 minutes, until char marks form.
In the mean time, combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Flip over, immediately sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture, then grill for 2 to 4 minutes or until browned and tender and the sugar slightly melted.
👉 Closing the grill for a minute or two accelerates the melting of the sugar.
Make whipped cream: Beat 1 cup heavy cream (reserve remaining for serving), confectioners sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
For serving, place a warm peach on a plate, drizzle with some of the reserved heavy cream, and top it off with a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Select perfectly ripe peaches, neither too firm nor too soft, is crucial.

Preheat and clean the grill grates before adding peaches.

Closing the grill for a minute or two accelerates the melting of the sugar.
