A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches topped with creamy honey mascarpone and crunchy pistachios, perfect for a refreshing and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches (freestone varieties preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese (about 8 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted unsalted pistachios (about 30 grams)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse 4 ripe peaches and pat dry. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup mascarpone cheese, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Ensure the grates are hot enough to sear the peaches quickly.
  4. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving them until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill another 2 minutes on the skin side. Watch carefully to avoid mushiness.
  5. Arrange grilled peaches on serving plates, cut side up. Spoon generous dollops of honey mascarpone over each peach half. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped pistachios and a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Serve immediately for the best contrast between warm peaches and cool mascarpone. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

If peaches are very ripe, grill for less time to avoid mushiness. Honey mascarpone can be made ahead and chilled; bring to room temperature before serving. If no grill is available, broil peaches for about 5 minutes or pan-sear in a hot skillet. For a dairy-free version, substitute mascarpone with whipped coconut cream and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
