I heart peaches…a lot. And lucky for me, they are in season right now in the Northwest — I’ve stocked up like they are going out of business. So when I had the unusual craving for dessert tonight, I decided to put my peaches to good use.

Halved and pitted the peaches. Brushed the flesh with canola oil and sprinkled with some brown sugar.

Grilled peaches flesh-side down over medium-high heat.

Blended together some cream cheese, almond extract, honey and pineapple mint (from my friend’s garden).

Topped the grilled peach halves with the cream cheese mixture and crushed vanilla wafer cookies (Amaretti cookies would be great, too — tying in with almond extract flavor). Voila!
