Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring grilled peaches topped with honey-sweetened mascarpone and crunchy pistachios, perfect for backyard gatherings or casual dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup shelled and roughly chopped pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the peaches and cut them in half, removing the pits carefully. Brush each half lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote even grilling. If desired, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the cut sides.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
  3. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them to develop grill marks and caramelization. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side to heat through.
  4. While the peaches are grilling, mix together the mascarpone, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
  5. Arrange the grilled peaches on a serving platter, cut side up. Dollop a generous spoonful of the honey mascarpone onto each half.
  6. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the mascarpone. Drizzle a bit more honey on top if extra sweetness is desired.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and slightly smoky, or chill briefly if preferred.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches for best grilling results. Brush peaches generously with olive oil to prevent sticking. Do not over-whip mascarpone mixture. Lemon juice brightens the mascarpone and balances sweetness. Toast pistachios lightly for deeper flavor if desired. For vegan version, substitute mascarpone with dairy-free alternative and honey with maple syrup.
