grilled nectarines with whipped coconut chobani

Happy Sunday, lovelies! I don't know about y'all, but today is my last day before school starts! Aaaah! It's going to be crazy busy, but you know what? I don't mind one bit. I find that the busier I am, the better. 🙂 I'm taking 16 hours, two science classes, not to mention I'm in like three organizations at the same time. And I blog. And I'll be training for a 5k in November. AND I'm going to be a Big for my sorority this semester. PHEW. I'm tired just thinking about it! So, for the last hurrah of summer, I made this classic dessert. Delicious, healthy, and so simple!

This yummy recipe came about by chance... my mom was grilling some veggies outside, and she asked, "Do you know of anything else we could grill?" So I was like "NECTARINES!" She looked at me kinda funny, but she went with it. And I'm so glad she did! This treat was super easy but packed big flavor. The juicy nectarines got pretty caramelized grill lines on the outside, and were topped with a mixture of coconut Chobani Greek Yogurt, heavy cream, and cream cheese, which was then topped with coconut flakes. Yum! So showy and impressive, yet ridiculously simple at the same time. So perfect!

Grilled Nectarines with Whipped Coconut Chobani
Yields: 6 servings

3 nectarines {or peaches}
1 container Chobani 2% Coconut Greek Yogurt
½ cup heavy cream
2 oz. cream cheese
shredded coconut, for serving

Heat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill gets ready, wash and dry your nectarines, cut them in half, and remove the pit. Once the grill is heated, place the nectarines cut side down on the surface. Close the lid of the bbq, and let them cook for about 5 minutes. After that, twist the nectarines {to make cross-hatch grill marks}, and let cook for a few more minutes. When they have slightly softened and have noticeable grill marks, remove from heat and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese with the whisk attachment until light and fluffy. Add in the heavy cream, and beat until it's mostly whipped. Add in the greek yogurt, and whip until well-combined. When ready to serve, place the nectarines with the cut side up, top with some of the whipped yogurt cream, and sprinkle some shredded coconut on top. Enjoy immediately!
