If desired, lightly grease the cut sides of the peach wedges with a little oil. Place peaches on a grate over direct heat or in a grill basket, cut sides down. Cook uncovered for about 1 minute on each side. When peaches turn brownish or achieve grill marks, they’re ready.
Divide peach wedges between bowls. Serve warm or at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate until cool. When ready to serve, pour 1/3 cup cream over each portion and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Serves 2.
