Grilled Peaches with Honey-Ginger Cream Cheese Fluff

Peaches always remind me of summer. They are so sweet and juicy and make the perfect snack or dessert. This simple recipe heightens that sweet flavor. Grilling the peaches allows for the sugars to caramelize. Yum!


So easy, just stick the peaches on the grill cut side down and let the heat do its magic!


The cream cheese fluff offers a slight tang to offset the sweetness of the peaches and the ginger and honey blend beautifully with this delicious treat!


These are quick to make and assemble making them an easy last minute dessert for surprise company or a nice ending to a BBQ.


Oh, and did I mention that they are healthy?! Go ahead, try them!
