Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of sea salt

Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F to 400°F).

    Prepare the Peaches: In a small bowl, mix the coconut oil (or butter), brown sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt until combined. Brush this mixture generously over the cut sides of the peach halves.

      Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until they have nice grill marks and have softened slightly. If you like them a bit more caramelized, you can grill them for an extra minute or two.

        Serve the Peaches: Remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool for a minute. Scoop a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream into the center of each peach half.

          Garnish and Drizzle: Add fresh mint leaves on top for garnish if desired. Drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze over the peaches and ice cream for an extra touch of flavor.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately while the peaches are warm and the ice cream is cold!
