Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with a luscious, airy honey-infused mascarpone cream. Perfect for last-minute gatherings or a light, indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (about 225 grams) mascarpone cheese, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably mild floral variety like clover or acacia)
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon mild extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped (optional garnish)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C), allowing 5-10 minutes for preheating.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, slice in half, and remove pits. Brush the cut sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, honey, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk or beat with an electric mixer until smooth and slightly fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Chill until ready to serve.
  4. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to get caramelization and grill marks.
  5. Flip peaches and grill skin side for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.
  6. Remove peaches from grill and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on the cut sides.
  7. Arrange warm peaches on plates, dollop generous spoonfuls of the creamy honey mascarpone on each half, and garnish with chopped fresh mint leaves if desired.

Notes

If peaches are extra juicy, spoon natural syrup over mascarpone for extra flavor. Avoid over-whipping mascarpone to prevent graininess. Fresh peaches are best; frozen or canned peaches do not grill well. For dairy-free, substitute mascarpone with thick coconut cream and honey with maple syrup or agave.
