Can I just tell you… it’s 100°F here in Vegas. Lol… Oh, but fortunately for us, it’s DRY heat!!! Srsly, this is what a turkey cookin’ in the oven must feel like – the poor thing. This is also the time of year when I stock up on heavy-duty ultra moisturizing lotions and lip balm to prevent human crispiness! (I lie… gotta moisturize every day, all year if you don’t wanna resemble a corn flake!)
Anyway, summer awakens my crazy cravings for ice cream (Ok, I lie again… I crave for frozen treats all year long…) and the urge to grill EVERYTHING. And you know what’s really fun to grill? FRUIT! Pineapple, peaches, strawberries, bananas… even grapefruit! So my teen and I decided to make Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Ice Cream and homemade Caramel Sauce!
Easy to make and insanely DELISH… give it a shot!
Ingredients:
4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
Vegetable oil
vanilla ice cream
For Caramel Sauce:
1 packed cup brown sugar
1/2 cup half & half
4 tbs butter
Pinch salt
1 tbs vanilla extract
Instructions:
