Flavorful bourbon grilled peaches caramelized with a bourbon glaze and served with creamy mascarpone, perfect for a quick and indulgent summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese (240 ml), chilled
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bourbon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the bourbon, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes.
  2. Prep the Peaches: Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pits carefully. Optionally, score the cut side lightly with a knife to help the glaze soak in, about 5 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it on medium-high on the stove, about 10 minutes.
  4. Glaze and Grill: Brush the cut sides of the peaches generously with the bourbon glaze. Place them cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving to get caramelized char marks.
  5. Flip and Continue Glazing: Turn the peaches over gently using tongs. Brush the grilled side with more glaze and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until soft but still holding shape.
  6. Prepare the Mascarpone: While peaches grill, whisk the mascarpone with honey or maple syrup in a bowl until smooth and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Arrange grilled peaches on serving plates. Dollop or pipe the mascarpone on top or beside the peaches. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Use firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Oil grill grates before heating to prevent sticking. Keep an eye on heat to avoid burning the glaze. Chill mascarpone until serving for best texture. Can substitute bourbon with peach juice or apple cider for non-alcoholic version. Mascarpone can be swapped with dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
