grilled peaches recipe - featured image

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches topped with a creamy honey cinnamon mascarpone, perfect for warm weather gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional toasted nuts (pecans or almonds), chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse the peaches and slice them in half, removing the pits carefully. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization.
  2. In a bowl, combine the softened mascarpone, honey, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust honey or cinnamon if desired.
  3. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. You want it hot enough to get nice char marks but not so hot that the peaches will burn quickly.
  4. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until you see grill marks and the fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for another 3-4 minutes. The peaches should be tender but not mushy.
  5. Remove peaches from the grill and let them cool for a minute. Spoon generous dollops of the honey cinnamon mascarpone onto each peach half. If using, sprinkle with toasted nuts for texture.
  6. Serve immediately, drizzling a little extra honey on top for the final touch.

Notes

Choose firm but ripe peaches for best results. Brush grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Monitor grill temperature carefully to avoid burning the sugars. Mascarpone can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge. For dairy-free options, substitute mascarpone with coconut cream mixed with vanilla and cinnamon.
