Print Recipe

A simple and delicious summer dessert featuring caramelized grilled peaches topped with creamy mascarpone and drizzled with honey. Perfect for warm evenings and easy to prepare in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 4 ripe peaches. Cut each in half and remove the pits carefully to keep the halves intact. Brush each peach half lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mascarpone cheese with 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and a pinch of ground cinnamon (if using). Stir gently to keep it creamy but well blended.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot enough that a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
  4. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes without moving them to get nice grill marks and caramelization.
  5. Flip carefully using tongs and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the skin side until peaches are tender but still hold their shape.
  6. Transfer the grilled peaches to serving plates, cut side up. Spoon a generous dollop of the mascarpone mixture onto each peach half.
  7. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of honey and sprinkle chopped fresh mint leaves on top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

If your grill tends to stick, sprinkle a little sugar on the peach flesh before grilling to help with caramelization and prevent sticking. Use a gentle touch when flipping peaches to avoid breaking them. Keep mascarpone chilled until serving for best texture. For a dairy-free version, substitute mascarpone with whipped coconut cream and honey with maple syrup.
