Paleo Campfire Meals: Fire-Baked Almost-Peach-Cobbler

by

Boy are you in for a treat today! No seriously, it is one of the best treats I have had in a reallllllly long time.
Last week I went camping in the South-Western part of Virginia with my husband, J, and her hubby. Being the food creative that I am, I knew that I wanted to experiment with at least one meal over the fire. Unfortunately but fortunately, I was hungry while grocery shopping prior to our trip. And we all know what happens when you visit a grocery store while your stomach is growling… Yup, I bought way too much with very little inspiration for my creative “over-the-fire” dish.
When I got home from the store I had to unpack my grocery bags and repack our camping bags. I realized I bought way too much fruit {is there such a thing?!} and that my creative meal had to involve my recently purchased bushel of berries.
With that, I bring you my Could-Be-Paleo Fire-Baked Almost-Peach-Cobler.

Paleo Fire Baked Almost Peach Cobbler
Ingredients:
Fresh Peaches
Assorted Berries {we used strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries}
Honey
Ghee {much cheaper in stores}
Marshmallows
Chocolate {Dark Chocolate would be best, but you’re camping so use what you have!}
Cinnamon
You also need aluminum foil and a fire with a cooking grill or rack.

Campfire desserts

 

whole30 peach dessert
Directions:
First of all, wash all of your fruit and get your fire going.
Assuming you successfully built a fire or started up the grill, we are good to go!
This is going to be one of the easiest and most delicious desserts you will ever make. Let’s forget s’mores… this will become your new must-have camping treat!
Slice the peaches in half, remove the pit. Place the peach on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle honey and add a spoonful of ghee over the peach. Then pick your favorite toppings and set them on top of or around the peach. The best part about this dessert, especially if you have kids, is that it is hands on and everyone can create the dessert they want!

Once you have all of your “peach toppings” with your peach, be sure to sprinkle some cinnamon on it and then ball up the foil nice and tight. Depending on the heat and height of your fire {or grill! you can make this at home too!} your peach will need to bake for about 10-15 minutes.

Wanna make sure this recipe stays paleo and healthy? You are good to go with the ghee and the honey… you just need to skip the ‘mallow and the hershey’s! Personally though, I say, you are on vacation and you are camping! For crying out loud, live it up with the marshmallows! When the chocolate, mallows, honey, ghee and cinnamon melt together you have one heck of a dessert gravy all over that peach!

Let me know what you think! I swear by this newly discovered, delectable dessert! And you better believe we will be using all of the leftover “toppings” this weekend to make these peaches over our grill at home!
This dessert can be created to be 100% paleo, 100% whole30 or 100% sugary! Whatever you prefer!

  2. Oh man, I love grilled peaches, and pineapple - I haven’t had either in a while. Nor do I own a BBQ grill but i bet it’d be similar on an indoor style grill. Ugh, delicious.

    • OH MAN! Pineapple would’ve been soooo good too. I love cooked/grilled pineapple. Good call on that one!

  4. I would have never put all those flavors together but it looks SO good. I really want to try it now. I didn’t have nearly enough peaches during peach season

    • It’s never too late to catch up on missed peaches! It was a really wonderful combo! Give it a shot and let me know what you think! 🙂

  5. YUM! This is what I call high class camping, I’m totally into this!

    • YES! Definitely takes camping to the next level when you can eat delicious foods like this! 🙂

  6. The peaches and blackberries combined are enough for me to know I need to try this.

  7. Those look crazy and they look like they could be really delicious! Thanks for sharing!

  8. ooh what a great idea! Too bad I didnt read this a few hours ago. My husband is on a campout right now!

  9. Oh dear God YUM! I think this look delicious for glamping 😉

  10. I would never think to put fruit / marshmallows + chocolate together! It makes sense though, lots of sweet yumminess!

  11. It looks amazing!! I can imagine using any number of different fruits. Thanks for the tip about ghee.

  12. Oh, man that cobbler looks amazing! I love a good cobbler!

  14. That looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it!

  15. Seriously, that looks so delicious! And I totally understand the whole grocery shopping on an empty stomach thing.. not a good idea! haha!

  18. This looks so good, I think I would definitely need the chocolate on top to satisfy my cravings 😉 Brilliant idea. You could pretty much do this with any fruit too!
