Grilled Peaches
Serves: 6 | SmartPoints: 2
Ingredients:
• 1 spray(s) cooking spray
• ¼ cup(s), at room temperature low fat cream cheese
• 2 Tbsp reduced-fat sour cream
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 3 large, pitted and halved peach(es)
Instructions:
1. Preheat grill. Off heat, coat grill rack with cooking spray.
2. Mash cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl with a fork; stir in honey until smooth.
3. When grill is hot, grill peaches cut-side down until marked, about 1 minute.
4. Place peaches cut-side up on a platter; top each with 1 tablespoon sweetened cheese mixture. Yields 1 peach half per serving.
Notes:
• Use peaches that smell sweet but are still a little firm so they hold up over the heat. Garnish with ground cinnamon or grated nutmeg. You can also cook the peaches on a grill pan, coated with cooking spray.
