Grilled Peaches with Coconut Whipped Cream and Mint

Serves 4

Grilling stone fruit greatly concentrates the flavors and caramelizes the natural sugars to satisfy your sweet tooth in this simple and lovely dessert. Feel free to substitute apricots or nectarines for the peaches.

Ingredients

2 peaches, mostly firm, with only a slight give, halved and pitted
¼ teaspoon avocado or other light-tasting oil
1 14-ounce can coconut cream, refrigerated overnight
1 tablespoon honey, plus more for serving, if desired
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon Vietnamese cinnamon, which is richer and warmer than traditional cinnamon
Fresh mint, for garnish

Directions

Chill your mixer bowl in the refrigerator while you gather the ingredients.

Preheat the grill to high and thoroughly clean grill grates.

Brush cut side of peaches with avocado oil.

Spoon canned coconut cream into the chilled bowl.

Whip the coconut cream with a hand or stand mixer on medium to high until fluffy peaks form. Add honey and vanilla to the bowl and whisk briefly to combine.

Place peaches cut-side-down on the clean, hot grill. For grill marks, leave on 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the peaches and dust with cinnamon.

Serve the peaches and cream as you wish, and garnish with the mint for a fresh pop.
