Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe nectarines
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups slivered almonds
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the nectarines. Cut each nectarine in half and remove the pits.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt completely.
Sprinkle the brown sugar into the skillet and stir until it combines with the butter to form a caramel-like sauce.
Place the nectarine halves cut side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Flip the nectarines over and sprinkle them with ground cinnamon. Drizzle with vanilla extract and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the nectarines are soft but still hold their shape.
While the nectarines are cooking, toast the slivered almonds in a small dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside.
Remove the nectarines from the heat and carefully transfer them to serving plates, two halves per plate.
Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream placed in the center of the nectarines.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the ice cream and nectarines. Drizzle with honey if desired and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy this heavenly warm dessert!
