Peaches with Cookie Crumble (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Topping

01 - 2 tablespoons plain butter
02 - 8 Biscoff cookies, broken into chunks
03 - 2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans

→ Fruit Base

04 - 5 big juicy peaches (nectarines work too), cut in half with pits removed
05 - 1 tablespoon plain butter
06 - 1 teaspoon brown sugar
07 - ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
08 - Cooking spray

→ Toppings

09 - Vanilla ice cream
10 - Chunky sea salt

# Instructions:

01 - Grab a microwave-safe dish and melt 2 tablespoons butter until it's runny. Toss in your broken Biscoff cookies and chopped pecans. Stir everything together with a fork until you get chunky bits throughout. Don't mix too much - bigger chunks make it tastier! Pop the mixture in your fridge to cool while you handle the peaches.
02 - Get another small dish and throw in 1 tablespoon butter with your brown sugar and cinnamon. Warm it up in the microwave using quick 10-15 second bursts. Mix well until sugar dissolves into a sweet, fragrant butter sauce. Put it aside for now.
03 - Fire up your outdoor grill to a good medium-high temp (about 375-400°F) or warm up a grill pan on your stove. Wait until it's really hot before cooking anything - this helps the peaches brown nicely and keeps them from sticking.
04 - Spray the cut surfaces of your peach halves with cooking spray. Put them cut-side down on your hot grill. Let them cook about 3-4 minutes total, turning them halfway through to make criss-cross marks. You want them soft but not mushy, with nice dark grill lines. Take them off once they're marked and slightly tender.
05 - Right after taking the peaches off the grill, brush or drip your cinnamon-butter mix all over the warm grilled sides. The heat from the peaches will soak up all that tasty butter, making them extra yummy and giving them a nice shine.
06 - Set your hot grilled peaches on plates or in bowls with the cut side up. Grab your cookie mixture from the fridge and sprinkle it generously over each peach. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream next to or on top of the peaches. Finish with a tiny sprinkle of chunky sea salt to bring out all the flavors. Serve right away while everything's still warm and the ice cream starts melting.

# Notes:

01 - A simple summer sweet treat that pairs hot caramelized peaches with crunchy cookie bits and smooth ice cream - perfect for hot days.
02 - The tangy Biscoff cookies balance out the sweet fruit perfectly, while a touch of sea salt brings everything together with a fancy twist.
03 - Always pick peaches that feel ripe when squeezed but aren't too soft - they'll fall apart on the grill if they're too mushy.
