Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 cup (about 8 oz or 240g) mascarpone cheese, chilled
- 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing peaches
- Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves or chopped toasted nuts (almonds or pecans)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (around 350°F / 175°C).
- Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice them in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides with olive oil.
- Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes without moving them to get a nice char.
- Flip gently and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes until peaches are tender but still hold their shape.
- While the peaches grill, combine mascarpone, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Add a teaspoon of milk or cream if needed to loosen.
- Arrange the grilled peaches on serving plates, spoon or pipe the honey mascarpone over the top, drizzle extra honey if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves or toasted nuts.
Notes
Use firm but ripe peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches well with olive oil to avoid sticking. Medium heat is key to caramelize sugars without burning. Whip mascarpone gently to maintain a thick, creamy texture. Can substitute Greek yogurt or coconut cream for mascarpone for different dietary needs.
