Print Recipe

A simple and indulgent summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches topped with warm cinnamon brown butter and creamy mascarpone.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe but firm fresh peaches
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Wash and halve 4 large ripe peaches. Remove the pits carefully with a sharp knife or spoon. Lightly brush the cut sides with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. After about 3-5 minutes, the butter will foam and begin to turn golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional). Set aside.
  3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water immediately (approx. 5 minutes).
  4. Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill. Let them cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks form and the peaches soften slightly. Flip and cook the skin side for another 2 minutes.
  5. While peaches grill, stir together 1 cup mascarpone cheese, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add a teaspoon of milk if needed to loosen the mixture.
  6. Transfer grilled peaches to serving plates cut side up. Generously spoon warm cinnamon brown butter over each peach half. Add a dollop of the mascarpone mixture on top or alongside. Serve immediately.

Notes

If the brown butter cools and hardens, gently rewarm it on low heat before drizzling. Use peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushy texture. Keep mascarpone chilled until serving for best contrast. For dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and mascarpone with cashew or coconut cream.
