A Summer Dessert That’s Actually Good for You

We’re calling it: this might be the most delightful way to eat a peach. These grilled beauties are warm, caramelized, and infused with a subtle smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with our creamy vanilla drizzle—crafted from JOI Cashew or Almond Base.

It’s plant-based. It’s dairy-free. It’s made with whole-food ingredients. And it tastes like peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream had a very clean, very JOI-ful baby.

So go ahead, file this one under “make on repeat all summer long.”

Why This Recipe Works (Like, Really Works)

• Minimal effort, major payoff: You only need a grill (or grill pan), ripe peaches, a blender, and a few pantry staples.

• Wholesome indulgence: No refined sugars, no dairy, no preservatives—just fresh fruit and clean, plant-based creaminess.

• Crowd-pleaser: Equally perfect for dinner party showstoppers or an upgraded weekday dessert.

• Ready in under 15 minutes: Yes, even including the drizzle.

Why We Use JOI in This Recipe

JOI is the not-so-secret ingredient that gives this recipe its velvety, rich drizzle without a hint of dairy. JOI also works beautifully as a dairy replacement and natural thickener in recipes, delivering a creamy texture without the need for traditional milk or cream. Here’s what makes JOI the standout:

• Clean label: Just one ingredient—organic cashews. That’s it. No gums, fillers, oils, or additives.

• Nutrient dense: With the entire nut in every spoonful, you get the full fiber, healthy fats, and protein.

• Convenient: No waste, no cartons, no running out mid-recipe. A pantry workhorse.

• Planet-friendly: Less water weight shipped, fewer plastic containers used. It’s better for your body and the planet.

Bonus: The natural creaminess of cashews blends into a silky-smooth sauce—no straining, no weird texture.

Easy Customizations

Want to switch it up? Here are some ideas to personalize your JOI-fueled creation:

• Use Almond instead of Cashew JOI: Prefer a lighter, subtly nutty base? Swap in JOI Almond Base for a slightly different—but equally dreamy—drizzle.

• Swap your stone fruit: Nectarines, plums, or even grilled pineapple

• Flavor upgrades: Add cinnamon, cardamom, or lemon zest to the drizzle.

• More indulgent?: Top it with crushed nuts, coconut whip, or a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.

• Prefer it chilled?: Skip the grill and go for a raw version. The cashew vanilla drizzle still brings the magic.

Directions

For the Peaches

1. Preheat your gas grill or charcoal grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Brush the grill grates with a neutral oil once the grill is hot, taking care not to burn yourself. Or, instead, brush the cut side of the peaches with oil prior to placing them cut side down on the grill grates.
3. Place your sliced peaches skin side up and let cook for about 5 minutes. Once you start to smell the warm peaches in the air, they are done!

For the Drizzle

1. In a small mixing bowl whisk together the Cashew or Almond JOI and 1 tablespoon of water until mostly combined.

2. Whisk in powdered sugar until thick and creamy, then stir in vanilla.

To Serve

1. Drizzle the Cashew Vanilla Cream over the peaches.
2. Garnish with fresh mint and crushed ice cream cone or granola for some crunch!
3. To make it into a sundae, top with ice cream and whipped cream and crunchy toppings.
