Ingredients (4):- Grilled Peaches: - 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted- Ice Cream: - 6 scoops of your fave ice cream- Baklava: - 6 pieces of baklava (homemade or store-bought)- Liqueur: (optional) - 6 tablespoons of ouzo or another anise-flavored liqueur
Instructions:
- Get that grill on fire! There's no substitute for hustle – fire up your charcoal or gas grill to medium heat, then oil it up with a clean cloth.
- Grill those peaches until they earn their stripes. Stand 'em half-cut on the grill grate, undisturbed, for about 3 minutes. Give 'em a 90-degree spin and keep cooking until the skin heaves a sigh of relief and the flesh softens up. Cut 'em free after about 3 more minutes.
- Assembly time! Place each grilled peach half in a serving dish, top with a scoop of your chosen ice cream, and cover with crumbled baklava. Drizzle more life into it with 1 tablespoon of the ouzo, if you're feeling it.
- Devour immediately! No time to waste. It's a wild ride from the get-go to the finish line – savor every second!
