I am alllllll about getting my grill on. I always try to extend our (short) summer season by keeping the grill going for as long as possible. Peaches are in season from May through late September and one of my go-to recipes for the grill are these amazing grilled peaches. They are so good and the blackberry coconut cream is like a chef’s kiss! So our “summer” pretty much ends in September when the peaches go away.

Key Ingredients

Flay lay images of portioned recipe ingredients.

Peaches — Freestone, or cling-free peaches are my favourite as the pit is not attached to the peach so you can just pop it right out. I love having grilling peaches since they are packed with nutrients and antioxidants.

Coconut milk — Make sure you use canned coconut milk and not the coconut milk from the fridge section. That type of coconut milk won’t whip up.

Maple syrup — This will give you that beautiful caramelized sear to the peaches.

Blackberries — Packed with vitamin C, use the blackberries as a garnish and as a flavouring agent for the coconut cream.

Pistachios — Another good for you ingredient, these pistachios add a nice crunch to this grilled peaches recipe.

How to Make This Recipe

Step 1: Preheat grill to medium high and brush the cut halves of the peaches with syrup.

Step 2: Place cut side down on the grill and cook until you get some nice dark grill marks.

Step 3: In a chilled bowl, whip the cream on the top of the coconut milk until you get soft peaks.

Step 4: In a blender, or food processor, puree half of the blackberries until smooth.

Step 5: Fold the puree into the cream.

Step 6: To serve, layer the cream, remaining blackberries and pistachios onto the cut side of the peaches. Enjoy this grilled peaches recipe at room temperature or warm.

Expert Tips

Don’t have an outdoor grill? Grill your peaches on a grill pan instead!

You’ll have to plan a little bit ahead of time if you’d like to make this grilled peaches recipe as often times, peaches aren’t ripe at the store. Leave the peaches on the counter until they’re soft and ripe. Once soft, store the peaches in the fridge until ready to grill.

Cut a peach like you would an avocado. Cut into the peach until you hit the pit and then run the knife around the pit. Twist to open.

Recipe FAQs

What if I don’t have maple syrup?

If you’re all out of maple syrup, you can use brown sugar. Mix the brown sugar with some melted (vegan) butter and then brush the peaches like you would with maple syrup.

How else can I serve this?

Instead of a blackberry coconut cream, you can serve this grilled peaches recipe with ice cream or sorbet! It’s a refreshing way to end off a hot summer evening!

What else can I grill?

Instead of peaches (or alongside the peaches), you can grill nectarines, plums, and apricots.

How do I store this? How long does it last?

Grilled peaches can stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container.
