Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Pinch of sea salt
How to Make Grilled Peaches with Chocolate Drizzle
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F).
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and cinnamon together. Brush this mixture generously over the cut sides of the peach halves.
- Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until you see nice grill marks and the peaches are slightly softened.
- While the peaches are grilling, melt the dark chocolate. You can do this by placing the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low heat.
- Once the peaches are grilled, remove them from the grill and place them cut-side up on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the grilled peaches. For added sweetness, drizzle honey over the top and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy the warm, juicy peaches with the rich chocolate drizzle!
Tips for the Best Results
- Choose peaches that are slightly firm to the touch but yield gently when pressed. Overripe peaches can become mushy on the grill.
- Adjust the grill temperature if the peaches are browning too quickly to ensure they cook evenly.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the honey before drizzling.
Easy Variations
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for an extra indulgent treat.
- Swap out the dark chocolate for white chocolate or caramel for a different flavor profile.
- Try sprinkling chopped nuts, such as pecans or almonds, over the top for added crunch.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream
- A dollop of whipped cream
- A side of yogurt for a tangy contrast
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Crumbled graham crackers for a bit of crunch
