Grilled Peach Dessert with Streusel and Maple Caramel Sauce

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 26 minutes
This grilled peach dessert is one of my summer favorites—juicy, caramelized peaches topped with a buttery streusel and drizzled with warm maple caramel sauce. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, smoky, and crunchy, and it comes together quickly on the grill. I love serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an easy dessert that feels a little fancy but is totally fuss-free.

Ingredients

Streussel Topping

Maple Caramel Sauce

Grilled Peaches

  • 4 large ripe but firm peaches, quartered and pit removed
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving
  • Edible flowers and mint, for serving

Instructions 

  • Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, mix the oats, flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt until it's crumbly.
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, ¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • Cook Streusel: Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat (you can do this on the grill if you'd like). Add the streusel mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set it aside to cool and then break it into smaller pieces if it's stuck together.

  • Maple Caramel: Add the maple syrup and butter to a small pot over medium-high heat. Let it boil hard for 3 minutes (do not stir), then remove it from the heat and stir in the cream and salt. Set it aside to cool and thicken.

Notes

Perfect grill marks: It can be a little tricky to get those perfect grill marks, but I have a few tips for success. But if they come off the grill looking a little smudgy, don't worry about it, this is a wonderfully easy-going dessert and will look beautiful no matter what. 
  • Start with a well cleaned grill. 
  • Oil the peaches. You can also oil your grill. 
  • Let them grill until they release themselves easily.
