Living in a house with a 5-year-old, most of our desserts are of the kid-friendly variety. “Grown up” desserts are saved for special occasions, when I feel the need to step away from kiddie land and enjoy something a bit more, well, grown up.
Don’t get me wrong! I love a good ol’ chocolate chip cookie sundae, but every now and then a girl needs to pamper her palate. When I found Jessica’s recipe for Grilled Peaches with Honey Ginger Cream Cheese Fluff, I knew this recipe would hit the mark.
Besides, who doesn’t love a dessert that has fluff in it? Fluff is very grown up, right?
This recipe is super simple. You’ll need: peaches, neufchatel cheese, honey, ginger, nutmeg, and Cool Whip.
In a bowl, mix together the neufchatel cheese and honey.
Beat with a mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the ginger and nutmeg.
Beat for another 2 minutes, until well combined.
Gently fold in the Cool Whip with a spoon, just until combined. Refrigerate while you grill the peaches.
Cover the grate of your grill with foil. Place the peaches, cut side down, on the grill. Grill for 3-6 minutes, or until soft.
Remove peaches to a platter. Top with the cream cheese fluff, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with nutmeg.
I absolutely LOVED these grilled peaches. Even my son loved them, so they’re not just for grown ups! The spiced cream cheese topping went so well with the sweet, juicy peaches. A perfect ending to a summer meal. Thank you Jessica for sharing you’re recipe with us! You can visit Jessica’s blog, A Kitchen Addiction, to find more of her yummy recipes.

Yummy seasonal dessert, and great pictures.

Stephanie, In order to stop them from rolling around just slice a little from the bottom before you grill so they sit flat Hope that helps.

This looks AMAZING !!! Peaches are my favorite fruit and I happen to have all the ingredients for this.

I just made these. I used a grill pan on the stove top instead of the BBQ grill. They weren’t completely soft and were hard to eat because they kept rolling around. Luckily I put them in bowls.
However, they were yummy! I loved the fluff. Next time, I think I’ll just slice and saute the peaches.
Thanks for giving me a new 5 minute dessert.

Hi Stephanie, I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Depending on how soft your peaches were to begin with, can affect the amount of grilling time needed. My peaches were really, really ripe, so they didn’t need much time at all.

Gorgeous photography, too! Wow.

Yes, straight on the grill. I wonder what the foil does for the taste?
Amber {Sprinkled With Flour} on 8.11.2012
Bee, I don’t think it really matters if you use foil or not. This is just how the original recipe read. I did not notice any difference between using foil and not using it. Hope this answers your question.

This is absolutely stunning! A great (and healthier?) dessert.

I love grilled peaches, although I’ve never grilled them with the foil before, I just make a sweet milk marinade for them and plop them straight on the grill.

Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my screen… ahem.
These look amazing. We love love love peaches. Truly.
Though our favorite peach desserts for grownups typically include booze: http://lollingabout.wordpress.com/2012/06/06/wasted-wednesday-peachy-keen/
