These Roasted White Peaches with Ice Cream and honeycomb make a great easy dessert recipe.
Whether you need to make dessert a dinner party or are craving something sweet, there is nothing like fresh fruit and creamy ice cream.  I love using fruits that are in-season and at the peak of freshness.
This recipe uses fresh white peaches, which are roasted with a touch of sugar and lemon. Â Roasting the peaches brings out their natural flavor and juiciness. Â Simply place peach halves in a small amount of water and roast in the oven. Â
Once they’re roasted, the peaches are sweet, succulent and have a slight crispy lemony coating from the lemon-sugar.
The warm peaches are served alongside creamy Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream and topped with a homemade honeycomb. Â
My family loves Breyers ice cream. Â It has a quality and taste that we can trust. Â
I love that Breyers is committed to high quality ingredients – a promise that has been on Breyers packages for more than 100 years.Â
