Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches topped with creamy honey mascarpone and crunchy toasted pistachios. Perfect for backyard barbecues and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup chopped pistachios, shelled and unsalted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry 4 ripe peaches. Cut them in half and carefully remove the pits. Brush each cut side with about 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1/3 cup shelled pistachios and stir frequently for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. In a bowl, combine 1 cup mascarpone, 3 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Whisk gently until smooth and slightly fluffy. If desired, stir in 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high (about 375°F or 190°C). If indoors, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  5. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them to get char marks. Flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes until peaches are tender but still holding shape.
  6. Transfer grilled peaches to plates, cut side up. Spoon a generous dollop of the honey mascarpone mixture over each peach half. Sprinkle with toasted pistachios immediately to keep the crunch.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If peaches are very ripe and soft, grill gently on lower heat to avoid collapse. Toast pistachios lightly to enhance flavor. Mix mascarpone gently to keep it creamy and fluffy. Serve soon after assembling to maintain texture contrast. Can substitute mascarpone with full-fat cream cheese or coconut cream for dairy-free option. Pistachios can be replaced with toasted almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
