A quick and easy summer dessert featuring grilled peaches caramelized to perfection and topped with a creamy honey mascarpone mixture. This recipe is simple, delicious, and perfect for gatherings or a last-minute treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (about 240g) mascarpone cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons honey, preferably local or wildflower
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter, for brushing peaches
  • Optional garnishes: toasted almonds or pecans, fresh mint leaves, cinnamon or nutmeg sprinkle

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 4 ripe peaches. Slice them in half and gently remove the pits.
  2. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup softened mascarpone, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Adjust honey to taste if desired.
  5. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes without moving them to create grill marks and caramelize sugars.
  6. Flip the peaches carefully and grill another 2-3 minutes on the skin side until peaches are tender but still hold their shape.
  7. Transfer the grilled peaches to serving plates, cut side up.
  8. Dollop generous spoonfuls of the honey mascarpone over each peach half.
  9. Add optional garnishes such as toasted nuts, a dash of cinnamon, or fresh mint leaves.
  10. Serve immediately warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid mushy fruit. Brush peaches with oil or butter to prevent sticking. Bring mascarpone to room temperature for easy mixing. If grilling for a crowd, prepare mascarpone ahead and keep chilled. For dairy-free, substitute mascarpone with whipped coconut cream and maple syrup.
