Oh, the glorious peach: fragrant, golden yellow, tangy, sweet and juicy. Peaches are the gift of summer when they are in season and at their peak. Fresh peaches lend themselves perfectly to all types of desserts, and today, I am sharing this Grilled Honey Lime Peaches and Pound Cake. Yes, it’s true, you can grill peaches, and they are amazing. The key to making this fruity dessert is using just-ripe peaches and marinating them in honey, lime and Mazola® Corn Oil, which is the perfect oil to use when grilling. Plus, did you know a clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil? To learn more about this claim, see Mazola.com. Your peaches will thank you for it.
The grill is my secret way to prepare peaches. They get extra juicy and the natural peach sugars caramelize for added sweetness. Grilled peaches are tasty by themselves, but today they are topping a grilled pound cake with sweet whipped coconut cream and a honey-lime drizzle. Simple and delicious, and no need to heat up your oven in the summer.

Ripe and juicy peaches
Celebrate the summer with this delicious fruit.
In order to keep this luscious peach dessert light and tasty, I made some simple swaps.
- Brush the pound cake with corn oil instead of butter for less saturated fat
- Make the marinade with corn oil instead of heavy flavored olive oil
- Make coconut whipped cream instead of regular whipped cream for a non-dairy alternative.
Make a simple marinade with corn oil, honey, lime juice, and lime zest, and brush the pound cake with corn oil for grilling.
Did you know?
- Since the grill has such a high temperature, Mazola Corn Oil has a smoke point higher than most cooking oils at 450 °F and performs well in a variety of cooking applications. Many home cooks may not realize that all cooking oils have a smoke point that, once exceeded, negatively affect the foods’ flavor and nutritional value. Brushing the pound cake with corn oil keeps the cakes from burning on the grill.
- Brushing the pound cake with corn oil creates a golden toasty cake with beautiful grill marks
- Corn oil has a neutral taste that lets the natural flavors of the peaches stand out.
- I like the fact that Mazola® Corn Oil is an all-purpose, cholesterol-free cooking oil that is a smart heart-healthy choice for your family. Corn oil has a variety of uses including baking, grilling, sautéing, stir-frying, or mixing up a marinade or dressing, so I can use one oil for all my cooking and baking needs.
- Here is additional information about Mazola Corn Oil.
Brush the peaches with the marinade and let sit for 15 minutes to soak up all the good flavors.
All things peachy
- Peach season is May through September, with July and August being the peak.
- Freestone Peaches – the pits are easy to remove
- Clingstone Peaches – the pits cling to the flesh
- Semi Freestone – the pits will cling to the flesh until the peach has ripened
- Yellow Peaches – are acidic and have a tangy flavor with sweet juicy deep yellow flesh
- White Peaches – less acidic than yellow peaches but more sweet with a creamy white flesh
Grilling peaches is quite easy
Follow these steps for grilled peach success –
- Clean the grill grates very well.
- Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit.
- Mix the marinade and then brush on the cut side of the peaches. Let sit for 15 minutes for the marinade to soak into the peach.
- Meanwhile, preheat the grill.
- When the peaches are ready, turn the grill to low and place the peaches on the grates, cut side down.
- Grill the peaches for about five minutes without moving.
- Flip peaches over and cook another five minutes.
