Fresh, ripe peaches snuggle-up with pure vanilla and ground cinnamon in a cozy
foil-packet to create a fragrant and delicious summertime treat. Simply top with a
scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. “Oh yeah, now we’re talking!”
Simply drizzle the sweet-syrup mixture over peach halves, placing the majority into the
peach halve-cavities. Then …
Fold foil together to form a packet, crimping edges to seal. Grill, covered, for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 6 fresh ripe organic peaches
- 1 tbsp of fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (or coconut oil)
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or sucanat)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- Homemade vanilla ice cream (see *notes below)
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high (400 degrees). Peel, halve, and pit peaches. (See note below for an easy peach peeling tip.)
- In a large bowl, combine lemon juice and melted butter. Add peach halves; toss well to coat.
- Next, place the peach halves on a large piece of parchment-lined foil.
- In the bowl containing the leftover lemon-butter mixture that the peaches were tossed in, whisk in the rapadura, vanilla extract and cinnamon.
- Drizzle mixture over peach halves, placing majority of liquid into the peach halve-cavities.
- Take another large sheet of foil and cover the peaches. Fold foil together to form a packet, crimping edges to seal. Grill, covered, for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from grill and allow foil packet to rest undisturbed for about 5-10 minutes. Then, carefully open packet.
- Slice each peach halve into quarters and divide among six bowls.
- Top with scoops of homemade vanilla ice cream and drizzle with the grilled peach juices. So yummy!
Notes
A quick and easy way to peel peaches ... bring a stockpot of water to a rolling boil. Add whole peaches and cook for one minute. Remove peaches from boiling water, using tongs, and place in a cold water bath. Once cooled to touch, peel off skins.
