Print Recipe

A simple and quick summer dessert featuring grilled peaches topped with a creamy mascarpone and honey mixture, perfect for casual gatherings or a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (about 8 oz or 250g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter, for brushing peaches
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and halve 4 ripe peaches. Remove the pits carefully.
  2. Brush each peach half lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
  4. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving to form caramelized grill marks.
  5. Flip the peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  6. While peaches are grilling, combine mascarpone cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest in a bowl. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Optionally, fold in 2 tablespoons of lightly whipped cream for a lighter topping.
  7. Arrange grilled peaches on a serving plate. Spoon a generous dollop of the mascarpone mixture over each half and drizzle additional honey on top.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches with oil or butter to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Serve grilled peaches warm with cool mascarpone for best flavor contrast. Mascarpone topping can be prepared ahead and refrigerated. For a vegan version, substitute mascarpone with coconut or cashew cream and honey with maple syrup.
