Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 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
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F).
- While the grill heats, brush the cut sides of the peach halves with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the peaches are done grilling, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly.
- To serve, place the grilled peaches on a serving plate, cut side up. Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce generously over each peach half.
- 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

- A side of mixed berries for a refreshing finish
