Ingredients You’ll Need

• 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (or any yogurt you like)
• 2–3 tbsp honey, for drizzling
• Optional toppings: chopped nuts, cinnamon, mint leaves

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the grill.
   Medium-high heat works best. You can also use a grill pan indoors.
2. Prep the peaches.
   Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
3. Grill the peaches.
   Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches are slightly softened. Flip and grill another 2–3 minutes if desired.
4. Assemble the dessert.
   Place grilled peaches on plates. Spoon yogurt over or beside the peaches. Drizzle generously with honey.
5. Optional finishing touches.
   Sprinkle chopped nuts, cinnamon, or fresh mint leaves for extra flavor and presentation.
6. Serve immediately.
   Best served warm for juicy, tender peaches with cool, creamy yogurt.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using underripe peaches: They won’t caramelize properly
• Skipping the oil/butter: Peaches may stick to the grill
• Overgrilling: You want softened, not mushy
• Adding yogurt too early: Yogurt loses texture if heated too long
• Not using fresh honey: Good honey elevates this dessert

Alternatives & Substitutions

• Fruit swap: Nectarines, plums, or even figs work beautifully
• Yogurt variation: Coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option
• Sweetener alternatives: Maple syrup or agave instead of honey
• Extra crunch: Add granola or toasted nuts on top
• Spice twist: Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for warmth
