Can we all agree that it is HOT in Granbury, Weatherford & Aledo?? Parker County peaches are in season, and cooking on the grill is a great alternative to heating up the kitchen.

Here’s one of my favorite recipes to serve to company, yet it’s so simple, you can serve it to the family on a week night.

Grilled Peaches with Frozen Yogurt and Ginger Snap Crumbles

Ingredients (Can easily be doubled, tripled, etc.)

  • 1 firm peach, halved and pitted
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 scoops vanilla fat-free frozen yogurt
  • 2 gingersnap cookies, crumbled

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Brush peach halves with canola oil.
  2. Place peach halves on the preheated grill. Grill until tender and peach is warmed through, about 10 minutes. Place the hot peach on a plate skin-side down. Sprinkle with brown sugar, allowing the sugar to melt. Alternatively, use a small torch to caramelize the sugar. Serve each peach half with 2 scoops of vanilla frozen yogurt and gingersnap cookie crumbles sprinkled on top.
