TASTE-GRILLED PEACHES AND CREAM


The last of the summer peaches are ripe for the picking and so delicious right now. My favorite summer dessert- give them a quick turn on the grill for sweet and smoky treat. I like to top warm peaches with a little whipped cream and toasted almonds for an easy and elegant dessert. Who needs pie!  

Grilled Peaches with Toasted Almonds and Whipped Cream

2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup of cold heavy cream

-Brush peaches with oil and place on the grill, cut-side down. Grill until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn the peaches over and grill another 45 seconds. Set aside. 
-Add slivered almonds to saute pan on medium high and turn constantly until golden brown. 
-Whip cream in a cold bowl with sugar and almond extract until stiff peaks form.
