Sparkling Grilled Bellini Float
Autumn 2019BY: Victoria Walsh
A Bellini is an icy whirl of peaches and Prosecco. Try it float-style with caramelized peaches, ice cream and bubbly. This recipe is easily cut in half, doubled or quadrupled to suit your guest list. You get the idea, it’s super flexible!
3 peaches in half
½ tsp (2mL) olive oil
Vanilla ice cream (or raspberry sorbet for a Melba-style version)
Sparkling wine
1 Lightly oil grill and preheat barbecue to medium. Cut 3 peaches in half. Brush the cut sides with ½ tsp (2mL) olive oil. Grill, cut-side down, until grill marks form and peaches soften slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
2 Just before serving, cut cooled peaches into wedges. Divide between 6 wide glasses or dessert cups.
3 To each, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream (or raspberry sorbet for a Melba-style version). Top each with sparkling wine, dividing about one 750-mL bottle between 6 cups. Serve immediately.
