Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring grilled peaches caramelized with brown sugar and butter, topped with smooth, vanilla-infused mascarpone cheese. This recipe balances smoky sweetness with creamy indulgence for a memorable treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling
  • Optional: chopped toasted pecans for crunch

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry 4 ripe peaches. Slice each peach in half and carefully remove the pit, keeping the halves intact. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons brown sugar until smooth and combined to create the caramel glaze. (2-3 minutes)
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Brush each peach half generously with the brown sugar butter mixture on the flesh side. Reserve some glaze for basting while grilling.
  5. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and sugar caramelizes. Flip carefully and grill skin side for another 2-3 minutes, basting with remaining glaze. (Total grilling time ~7 minutes)
  6. While peaches grill, place mascarpone in a bowl and add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk gently until smooth and slightly fluffy. (5 minutes)
  7. Remove peaches from grill and let cool slightly. Spoon or pipe mascarpone over each peach half. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt or chopped toasted pecans on top.

Notes

Choose peaches that are firm but ripe to hold their shape on the grill. Use medium-high heat to caramelize without burning. Baste frequently with the caramel glaze. Whisk mascarpone gently to avoid breaking the texture. If no grill is available, use a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
