Grilled Peaches and Cream
Description
This dessert involves grilling peaches cut side down on a medium-heat grill until they soften and develop slight caramelization. Meanwhile, a vanilla bean is used to infuse plain Greek yogurt sweetened with sugar, which is then folded into lightly whipped heavy cream for a smooth, creamy topping.
The warm grilled peaches contrast with the cool, fluffy cream mixture, offering a balance of textures and flavors—sweet, fragrant fruit with a rich dairy topping. Blackberries and mint leaves add color and fresh accents to the dish.
This dessert can be served immediately after assembling and works well for summer gatherings or as a light, elegant finish to a meal.

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Greek yogurt 0% fat, plain
- 1 2 inch vanilla bean split lengthwise, piece

- 1 pint blackberry optional for garnish and extra fruit

Instructions
- Heat grill to medium.
- Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into a medium bowl. Combine seeds, yogurt, bean, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Let flavors blend for 1 hour. Discard bean.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cream and 2 tablespoons of the sugar until it holds medium peaks (2 to 4 minutes). Gently fold in the yogurt and set aside.
- Grease the grill grates and grill the peaches cut side down for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
- Top each peach with a a couple of spoonfuls of the yogurt cream. Garnish with blackberry and mint. Serve with remaining berries on the side.
