Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe nectarines
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the nectarines in half and remove the pits. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved to form a caramel-like mixture.
Place the nectarine halves cut-side down into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden and caramelized. Flip the nectarines and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the dark chocolate pieces. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften, then whisk until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate sauce.
To serve, place 2 nectarine halves on each plate. Drizzle generously with the warm chocolate sauce.
Optionally, garnish with chopped nuts and fresh mint leaves for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
