A quick and easy dessert featuring grilled peaches glazed with a sticky honey bourbon sauce, topped with creamy mascarpone and garnished with fresh mint. Perfect for summer evenings and backyard parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe but firm peaches
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, chilled
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, roughly 375–400°F (190–205°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry peaches. Slice each peach in half and gently remove the pit.
  3. Lightly brush each cut side of the peaches with melted unsalted butter.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, bourbon, and ground cinnamon to make the glaze. Set aside.
  5. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  6. Flip peaches gently, brush the cut side with the honey bourbon glaze, and grill for another 2–3 minutes, brushing with more glaze once or twice during cooking.
  7. While peaches grill, spoon mascarpone into a small bowl, add vanilla extract if using, and stir gently to combine. Keep chilled until serving.
  8. Remove peaches from grill and let cool slightly. Place two halves per serving plate and dollop a generous spoonful of mascarpone on top or beside each.
  9. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If glaze thickens too much as it cools, warm it slightly before using to keep it spreadable. Use medium-high heat to avoid burning or steaming the peaches. Brush peaches with melted butter before grilling to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization. Serve mascarpone chilled but brought to room temperature for easier spreading. Keep mascarpone separate from peaches if storing leftovers to avoid sogginess.
