Steps:
- Brush 4 of the biscuits with the melted butter and sprinkle with the demerara sugar, then bake according to the package directions (save the remaining biscuits for another use). Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice and salt. Bring to a simmer, then cook, stirring frequently and using the back of a wooden spoon to mash the berries, until the juice has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, heat a grill pan or grill to high heat and oil the grates.
- Brush the peaches with oil and add to the grill, cut-side down. Cook, without moving the peaches, until charred grill marks develop, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the peaches, then cook until the peaches have heated through but still hold their shape, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and cut into bite-size pieces, then set aside.
- Split the biscuits open and place on the grill cut-side down. Grill until grill-marked, about 2 minutes. Tear the biscuits into large chunks.
- In parfait glasses, layer the biscuits chunks, a scoop of ice cream and blueberry sauce. Continue with another set of layers and finish with the grilled peaches and dollops of whipped cream.
GRILLED PEACHES
Steps:
- Right before cooking, slice the peaches along the seam and pit them. Coat them in oil for cooking, being sure to give them a thick, even coating. I prefer to toss them in a gallon size Ziplock bag along with the oil and gently rub the oil into the peach. This reduces mess, which is critical when you might be in the backyard, far from access to a sink. Don't use extra virgin olive oil, as the smoke point is lower and may cause the peaches to taste burnt and smoky. Grill the peaches skin side up for 5-6 minutes. When they begin to sizzle and shine, turn them over onto their skin and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until they soften and lose a little bit of their shape. Serve immediately, with or without a garnish of whipped cream or ice cream. If you don't have room to eat all the peaches you've grilled, they can be reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and they still taste great the second time around.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm peaches: This will ensure that they hold their shape on the grill and don't become mushy.

- Serve the peaches warm or at room temperature: They can be topped with dukkah, blueberries, or other desired ingredients.
