Grilled Texas Peach Sundaes

Ingredients:
  • 4 ripe Texas peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1–2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
  • Honey or caramel sauce (optional)
  • Crushed pecans or granola for topping
Instructions:
For a sweet and simple summer dessert, try this Grilled Texas Peach Sundae. Start by halving and pitting four ripe Texas peaches. In a small bowl, mix together 1–2 tablespoons of brown sugar with a teaspoon of cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture over the cut sides of the peaches. Preheat your grill to medium heat and place the peaches cut-side down. Grill for about 3–4 minutes, or until you see grill marks and the peaches begin to soften. Flip them over and grill for another 2–3 minutes on the skin side. Once grilled, transfer each peach half to a serving bowl and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For extra flavor and texture, drizzle with honey or caramel sauce and sprinkle with crushed pecans or granola. It’s a warm, cool, and delicious way to celebrate Texas peach season!
