Let’s just pause and give a slow clap for grilled fruit. There’s something wildly satisfying about taking a soft, juicy peach and throwing it over open flame. That sear? That caramelized edge? That oh-so-subtle smokiness? It’s summer seduction on a plate. And if you haven’t grilled fruit before, this is your gateway. You’ll never look at a fruit salad the same again.

Enter: the diva of Italian desserts - Zabaglione - in our Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Zabaglione. Say it out loud with a little flair: zah-bahl-YOH-nay. It’s a warm, silky custard made from egg yolks, sugar, and a kiss of sweet wine (usually Marsala). Now imagine spooning that rich, velvety dream over your freshly grilled peaches. The sweetness of the zabaglione and the tangy-charred depth of the peach? Chef’s kiss.

Grilling proteins and veggies is great and all—essential, even. But when you grill something sweet? That’s when the neighbors start peeking over the fence. The sugars caramelize, the juices intensify, and suddenly your side dish becomes a showstopper. It’s grilling gone gourmet.

With the 4th of July just around the corner, forget fireworks — let dessert steal the show. These grilled peaches are stunning to look at, easy to make, and just a little unexpected. Plus, you'll feel fancy saying "Zabaglione" while everyone else is still trying to spell "coleslaw."
