Grilled peach sundaes with bourbon caramel sauce offer a smoky, sweet, and indulgent dessert perfect for summer gatherings. The grilled peaches add a rustic charm while the silky bourbon caramel sauce provides a rich, boozy finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, warm
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry peaches, then halve and pit them. Toss with lemon juice if using. Brush each peach half with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and sugar bubbles. Flip and grill skin side for 2-3 minutes until soft but not falling apart.
  4. In a medium saucepan, heat granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and deep amber in color. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in warm heavy cream carefully. Stir in bourbon, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Return to low heat and stir until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Scoop vanilla ice cream into bowls or glasses. Top with grilled peach halves and drizzle warm bourbon caramel sauce over. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Brush peaches with butter to get a golden crust. Stir caramel sauce constantly to avoid burning. Serve sundaes immediately for best contrast between warm peaches and cold ice cream. Sauce can be made ahead and reheated gently. If no grill, use oven broiler to caramelize peaches.
