A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches topped with creamy mascarpone and drizzled with floral honey. Perfect for warm evenings and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (about 240g) mascarpone cheese
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry peaches, slice each in half and remove the pit. Brush each peach half lightly with olive oil.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F). If using charcoal, wait until coals turn grayish-white.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften.
  4. Flip peaches carefully and grill skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
  5. While peaches grill, stir mascarpone cheese with honey and lemon juice (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  6. Transfer grilled peaches to serving plates. Spoon mascarpone mixture over each half, drizzle with additional honey, sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  7. Serve immediately warm. Optionally, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Use medium-high heat to avoid burning. Flip peaches carefully to keep them intact. Mix mascarpone with honey and lemon juice to brighten flavor. For vegan options, substitute mascarpone with coconut cream and honey with agave syrup.
