A quick and elegant dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with a rich, honey-kissed mascarpone cream. Perfect for summer evenings and crowd-pleasing with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe but firm fresh peaches
  • 8 ounces (about 225g) full-fat mascarpone cheese
  • 3 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C) for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Rinse peaches gently and pat dry. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit carefully.
  3. Brush the peaches lightly with olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the peaches cut side down for about 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and texture softens.
  5. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2-3 minutes until peaches are tender but hold their shape.
  6. While peaches grill, combine mascarpone, 3 tablespoons honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and slightly fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  7. Arrange warm grilled peaches on serving plates and spoon generous dollops of honey mascarpone cream over the top.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a light drizzle of honey if desired.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm fruit and cool cream.

Notes

If peaches aren’t quite ripe, sprinkle with a pinch of sugar before grilling to enhance sweetness. Keep grill heat medium-high to avoid burning. Mascarpone cream can be made a day ahead and refrigerated; whisk before serving. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute mascarpone with coconut cream and honey with maple syrup. Leftover peaches and cream should be stored separately and consumed within 2 days.
