Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 cup (about 8 oz or 240g) mascarpone cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons honey (preferably floral or mild variety like clover honey)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C), about 10 minutes until hot.
- Rinse and dry peaches, slice in half and remove pits. Brush each half lightly with olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened mascarpone, honey, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving to form grill marks.
- Flip peaches and grill for another 1-2 minutes to warm through, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately by spooning generous dollops of honey mascarpone over warm peaches. Sprinkle cinnamon and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
Do not poke or flip peaches too often to achieve perfect caramelized grill marks. Soften mascarpone ahead of time for easier blending. Use mild floral honey for best flavor or buckwheat honey for a deeper taste. If grilling indoors, preheat grill pan well and avoid overcrowding. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge up to 2 days and reheated gently.
