A quick and easy dessert featuring grilled peaches topped with honey-infused ricotta and crunchy pistachios, perfect for warm weather or any time you want a simple yet flavorful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese, stirred smooth
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/3 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
  2. Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta and 2 tablespoons of honey until smooth. Add lemon zest if using and adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly.
  5. Flip the peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  6. Arrange the grilled peaches on a serving platter or individual plates. Dollop generous spoonfuls of the honey ricotta on top of each peach half.
  7. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the ricotta and peaches. Drizzle with additional honey and sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and aid caramelization. The ricotta and honey mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving. For vegan adaptation, substitute ricotta with coconut yogurt or plant-based cream cheese and honey with maple syrup. If no grill is available, roast peaches in a 425°F oven for about 10 minutes.
