Print Recipe

A light, creamy, and naturally sweet dairy-free dessert made by blending smoky grilled peaches with creamy coconut milk and freezing the mixture to create a refreshing nice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 (13.5 oz / 400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg
  • Optional: Splash of almond extract
  • Optional: Toasted chopped pecans or walnuts for serving
  • Optional: Substitute maple syrup with agave or honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice them in half and remove the pits carefully. Lightly brush the cut sides with a tiny bit of coconut oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 3–5 minutes until grill marks appear and the peaches start caramelizing. Flip and grill the skin side for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.
  4. Remove the peaches and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
  5. In a food processor or blender, add the grilled peach halves (cut side up), chilled coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe shallow container and freeze for 2 hours, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
  7. After the last stir, freeze for another hour or until firm but scoopable. If too hard, let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving.
  8. Optional: For a softer texture, blend the mixture once more after it’s partially frozen but before the last freeze.

Notes

Keep coconut milk chilled overnight for best creaminess. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes during freezing to avoid icy texture. Use ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results. Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor. Optional spices and nuts can be added for variation.
