Ingredients

• 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (about 60-70% cacao)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• Sea salt, for garnish
• Optional: chopped nuts or fresh mint for serving

How to Make Grilled Peaches with Chocolate Sauce

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, toss the halved peaches with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches soften slightly.
4. While the peaches are grilling, prepare the chocolate sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the dark chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Once the peaches are grilled, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter, cut-side up.
6. Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce generously over the peaches.
7. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and, if desired, top with chopped nuts or fresh mint.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm for the best grilling results.
• Make sure your grill is well-preheated to ensure nice grill marks and caramelization.
• For an extra flavor boost, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the chocolate sauce.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it cool slightly before drizzling.

Easy Variations

• Swap the dark chocolate for white chocolate or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
• Add a splash of bourbon or rum to the chocolate sauce for a boozy kick.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
• Experiment with spices by adding a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder to the chocolate sauce for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla or coconut ice cream for a creamy contrast.
• A dollop of whipped cream for a light and fluffy addition.
• Crushed graham crackers for a crunchy texture.
• Fresh berries for a burst of tartness.
