Ingredients

• 4 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
• 1 tbsp neutral oil
• 1/4 cup hot honey
• 2 cups vanilla ice cream
• 1/3 cup toasted pecans, chopped
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 8 fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

1. 1Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F.
2. 2Brush the cut sides of the nectarine halves lightly with oil so they do not stick.
3. 3Place the nectarines cut-side down on the hot grates and grill 3 to 4 minutes until deep grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly.
4. 4Flip and grill the skin side another 2 minutes just to warm through.
5. 5Transfer the grilled nectarines to a platter and immediately drizzle with most of the hot honey so it soaks into the warm fruit.
6. 6Place two nectarine halves in each serving bowl.
7. 7Add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream beside or on top of the fruit.
8. 8Sprinkle with toasted pecans, sea salt, and graham cracker crumbs for crunch.
9. 9Drizzle the remaining hot honey over the ice cream so it creates glossy ribbons.
10. 10Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve at once while the contrast of hot fruit and cold ice cream is strongest.
