A quick and easy dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with a luscious honey-sweetened mascarpone, perfect for summer evenings or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (about 226 grams) cold mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter for brushing peaches

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). If using a grill pan, heat it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
  2. Rinse and pat dry 4 ripe peaches. Slice them in half and remove the pits. Brush each cut side lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit starts to soften. Flip and cook the skin side for another 2 minutes, ensuring they remain tender but still hold their shape.
  4. While peaches grill, combine 8 ounces of cold mascarpone cheese, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whisk or beat with a hand mixer until smooth and slightly fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Adjust honey to taste if desired.
  5. Spoon a generous dollop of honey mascarpone onto each serving plate. Arrange the warm grilled peaches on top or beside the mascarpone. Drizzle a little extra honey over everything and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired.
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm peaches and cool mascarpone.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil or melted butter before grilling to prevent sticking and achieve a golden crust. Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Whip mascarpone just until smooth and airy to prevent curdling. If no grill is available, a hot cast-iron skillet or broiler can be used but will lack smoky flavor.
