A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with a luscious honey-sweetened mascarpone topping. Perfect for warm evenings and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (about 8 oz or 240g) mascarpone cheese, cold
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice them in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add mascarpone cheese, 2 tablespoons honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract if using. Whisk or beat gently until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook without moving for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  5. Flip the peaches carefully and grill the skin side for another 2-3 minutes until charred and tender.
  6. Transfer the peaches to a plate and sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on the grilled sides.
  7. Spoon a generous dollop of the honey mascarpone over each peach half and drizzle extra honey on top.
  8. Optional: garnish with toasted almonds, chopped fresh mint, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization. Whip mascarpone gently to avoid it becoming too loose. For a dairy-free option, substitute mascarpone with whipped coconut cream and honey with maple syrup. Leftovers can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 2 days.
