Pro Tips

• Choose freestone peaches. This means you can easily remove the pit when you cut the peaches in half. 
• If you are having trouble removing the pit, try using a melon baller to scoop out the pit. 
• Look for slightly firm peaches. Juicy peaches have more sugar which means they will be prone to burning on the grill or in the air fryer. 
• Cut peaches in half before grilling, rather than smaller slices so they don’t fall through the grates on the grill. 
• You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the size of your peaches. 

Delicious Variations

• Serve with Meat – Skip the ice cream and serve the grilled peaches alongside grilled meat for a tasty summer side dish. 
• Add Whipped Cream – Grilled peaches topped with a little bit of whipped cream is a lighter option than ice cream.
• Grill Other Fruits – The same concept can be used for grilling other fruits like nectarines, pears or watermelon. You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the fruit. 
• Got Leftover Peaches? Chop or slice them and serve with a cheese plate, on a salad or as a topping for yogurt, cereal or oatmeal. 

Make Ahead And Storage

Prep Ahead – Chop walnuts and set out the ice cream to soften a bit while you grill the peaches. 

Store – Store any leftover grilled peaches in the fridge. Refrigerate for up to a week. 

Freeze – Leftover peaches can be frozen but will be very soft when thawed so they are best enjoyed warm off the grill or within a few days.
