Ingredients

• 4 nectarine peaches
• 20 g butter
•  2 spoonfuls cane sugar
• 2 spoonfuls almonds (toasted and thinly sliced)
• Vanilla ice cream
• Giusti 5 Gold Medals Balsamico Vinegar of Modena

Preparing the Peaches

1. Preheat & Prep:
   Heat the grill to medium. Wash and dry the peaches thoroughly. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit, keeping the skin intact.
2. Butter and Sugar:
   Brush the cut sides of the peaches with melted butter and sprinkle them generously with cane sugar.

Assembling the Dessert

   Slice the almonds thinly and toast them briefly in a pan until they are lightly golden. For an extra touch of sweetness, you can add a dusting of powdered sugar during toasting.
2. Final Assembly:
   Place a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream into the hollow of each grilled peach half. Sprinkle the toasted almond slices over the ice cream and peaches, then finish with a delicate drizzle of Giusti 5 Gold Medals Balsamico.
3. Serve Immediately:
