Juicy fruit cut in half and cooked on the grill. Topped with vanilla ice cream…it is delightfully good.

 

 

Fresh fruit makes such a lovely desert, especially on a hot summer day. When you grill peaches and then top them with homemade ricotta, it is a perfectly wonderful and welcome ending to your meal.

Cut the peaches in half and take out the pit.  Brush with melted butter and set directly on a hot grill…temperature should be at least 450 degrees.

Looks good right?  And it really, really is.

*I have the recipe for making ricotta from scratch under Cheese…and it is super easy.*

We also grilled pears, cutting them in half, brushing them with butter and placing them on the grill.

To serve drizzle the top with honey, ricotta cheese and chopped walnuts.

So simple, quick, light and elegant.  My daughter suggested we drizzle some Nutella hazelnut chocolate spread on the top too…sounds really great but didn’t have any so we will have to try that next time.
