Ingredients

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• Sea salt, for garnish
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Grilled Peaches with Chocolate Sauce

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F).
2. While the grill heats, brush the cut sides of the peach halves with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened.
4. While the peaches are grilling, prepare the chocolate sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the dark chocolate and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
5. Once the peaches are done grilling, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly.
6. To serve, place the grilled peaches on a serving plate, cut side up. Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce generously over each peach half.
7. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose peaches that are slightly firm but ripe for the best grilling results. Overripe peaches may become mushy.
• Make sure to preheat the grill properly to ensure even cooking and nice grill marks.
• Stir the chocolate sauce continuously to prevent burning. If it thickens too much, add a splash more cream to loosen it up.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate for varied flavor profiles, such as milk chocolate or a mix of chocolates.

Easy Variations

• For a nutty flavor, add chopped toasted nuts as a topping along with the chocolate sauce.
• Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the peaches before serving for added sweetness.
• Serve the grilled peaches with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy contrast.
• Add a splash of bourbon or rum to the chocolate sauce for an adult twist.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream or gelato
• Fresh whipped cream
• A scoop of yogurt for a healthier option
• Crumbled cookies or graham crackers for crunch
• A side of mixed berries for a refreshing finish

Grilled peaches are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The chocolate sauce can be stored separately and reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave. Note that the texture of grilled peaches may change after refrigeration.
