- Author: Dr. Marisa Bosler, Bosler Nutrition
- 1 peach, halved
- 1/2 cup granola (or oatmeal/leftover cookies) mixed with 1 finely chopped fig
- 1/2 cup freshly made whipped cream, sweetened with1 tablespoon honey
- 1 squirt of juice from a small lemon wedge
- a pinch of fresh lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon butter or coconut oil, melted
- Sprinkle finely chopped nuts or green apple with granola (optional)
- 3 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (reserve for garnish)
- Grill peach until grill marks appear. Turn off grill and close lid over peach so it softens.
- Mix granola with honey, fig and warm butter or coconut oil (serve over peach).
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkle mint on top.
CUSTARD: To make the recipe above extra special, you can make homemade custard to drizzle on the peach:
- Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a saucepan and add finely chopped fig.
- Add 1/4 cup cream to the saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer.
- Slowly add half of butter and cream mixture to a bowl with an egg yolk, and whisk. (This is called “tempering.”)
- Pour egg yolk and the other half of the butter and cream mixture back into the original pan and turn off heat. Continue to whisk until thick.
- Drizzle on top of grilled or baked peaches and enjoy!
- For both recipes, peaches can be baked at 350°F for about five minutes instead of grilling, or until desired softness is achieved.
