We love this Roasted White Peaches with Honeycomb for a sweet summer dessert or afternoon snack! Y'all, it's hot and muggy in Miami right now - duh, of course it is, it's SUMMERTIME!
Hot, humid days make me crave fresh fruit, so I've been eating a crazy amount lately! Today I got the chance to use white flesh peaches when I picked them up for this recipe for Roasted White Peaches with Honeycomb and Vanilla Ice Cream by Chef Curtis Stone.
Why we love this Roasted White Peaches with Honeycomb
You guys, have you ever in your life made honeycomb? I made it for the first time today for this Roasted White Peaches with Honeycomb recipe and it like conducting a science experiment in my kitchen. I'll admit the 12-year-old mad scientist in me geeked out about it just a little bit. It reminded me of creating one of those bursting volcanoes as a kid...the way it bubbles and oozes then cools and hardens - it was so fun!
Ingredients needed to make this Roasted White Peaches with Honeycomb recipe
- 1 cup sugar divided
- 1 lemon zested
- 4 ripe but firm white peaches halved, pitted
- Nonstick cooking spray
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 ½ tsp. baking soda
- 4 cups Breyers® Natural Vanilla Ice Cream
Instructions for how to make Roasted White Peaches with Honeycomb
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbs. sugar and lemon zest for about 1 minute, or until sugar is fragrant and moist.
Arrange the peaches, cut side up, in a 13x9-inch baking dish and then pour ⅔ cup of water into the dish. Then sprinkle lemon sugar mixture over peaches and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until peaches are slightly softened and have released their juices.
Meanwhile, lightly spray a small baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a medium heavy saucepan over high heat, bring remaining sugar, honey, and 2 tbs. water to a boil, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, without stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until a candy thermometer reaches 305°F. Remove from heat and whisk in baking soda just until blended and mixture begins to bubble. Gently pour hot mixture onto prepared baking sheet and cool.
Break honeycomb into small pieces and reserve in an airtight container.
Spoon ½ cup Vanilla Ice Cream into each of 8 bowls and top with warm roasted peaches and warm juices, and sprinkle with honeycomb pieces and serve immediately! YUM!
