Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring grilled peaches caramelized to perfection, topped with a creamy honey-sweetened mascarpone. Perfect for backyard barbecues or a light finish to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (240 ml) mascarpone cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably mild, floral variety like clover or wildflower)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Olive oil or melted butter, for brushing peaches before grilling
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, toasted almonds or pistachios, sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Let them cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until you see nice char marks. Flip gently and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side until tender but still holding shape. (Total 6-8 minutes)
  4. While peaches grill, combine mascarpone, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust honey if desired. (5 minutes)
  5. Transfer grilled peaches to plates, spoon a generous dollop of honey mascarpone on top, and garnish with fresh mint or nuts if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to avoid mushiness. Do not rush grill marks; let peaches sit undisturbed to caramelize. Brush peaches lightly with oil or butter to prevent sticking. Gently fold honey and lemon into mascarpone to keep it light and airy. If peaches are too firm after grilling, cover loosely with foil for a few minutes to soften. For vegan option, substitute mascarpone with coconut cream whipped with maple syrup and use agave instead of honey. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat peaches briefly under broiler or skillet before serving.
