Sweet grilled peaches are topped with with tangy vanilla speckled labneh and finished with honey and pomegranate seeds.
Oh hello, Easy Summer Desserts!
This summer is flying by and I have been craving something simple and sweet. The peaches this season are extraordinary and I am the type of person that likes a little give to my fruit, dripping, juicy fruit where you have to stand over the sink to eat it.
Those ripe peaches would be perfect for my peach berry clafoutis, however, if you are grilling them, the firm peaches are better!
Keep it even simpler by forfeiting the charred peaches and adding any fresh fruit or berries of your choice. The sweetness pairs lovely with tart Mediterranean labneh.
And if you can't find labneh (you should!), substitute thick full fat Greek yogurt, which will still offer the same creamy tartness that goes so well with fresh fruit.
A Few Tips on Grilled Peaches
I took advice from my dear friend Laura over at Family Spice. She is the grilling queen!
- Get your grill pan or grill very very hot.
- Pick firmer fruit to grill, the softer fruit will release more juices and risk sticking to the grill
- Once on the grill, don't touch until it releases from the pan easily
- A fish spatula that is flexible works really well to release the charred peaches from the hot pan with minimal sticking.
