We are still firing up the grill, and hope to get another couple months of outdoor cooking. We usually save the grill for burgers, tri-tip and chicken, but I thought it would be fun to try grilling dessert!

In our local paper there was an article about grilling fruits; pineapple, nectarines, mangoes, and since we are right smack in the middle of the most fabulous peach season, it seemed like a perfect fruit to experiment with.

I’m usually not the griller around here. My husband has happily held the Grill Guru title for all our married years, but I took over the duties for this dessert.

Although, now that I think about it, he might as well have taken over because I sure did ask a lot of questions! haha – How do I turn the gas on? Which way do the knobs turn? Do I leave the cover open or should I close it? Aye!

I made sure that I really took the time to throughly clean the grill from all the drippings of the meat fat from previous meals. I didn’t want any meat flavorings to ruin the fresh peaches, and once it was clean I lightly sprayed the grates with cooking spray so that the peaches would come off easily.

I picked peaches that were still firm to the touch and it only took about 4 minutes to cook on the grill. They were soft enough to easily cut into them using just a fork.

The rich whipped yogurt cream with the grilled peaches are a refreshing way to end an evening meal.

We sipped bourbon with our peaches adding a little flare to this deliciously festive dessert.

  2. What a pretty dessert to enjoy with a bourbon on a wonderful summer’s night. Your dessert looks gorgeous. I love the presentation. Peaches are one of my favourite fruits in summer. I’m missing them! I can’t wait for them to arrive in the shops again xx

  5. What a quick, healthy fabulous looking summer dessert! Our local peaches have not been good this year because of the polar votex, but I did buy some awesome South Carolina peaches that would be perfect in this recipe! I do ALL the grilling in my house, my husband doesn’t have a clue! haha
