A simple and flavorful dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches topped with creamy honey mascarpone and crunchy pistachios, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/3 cup shelled and roughly chopped pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing peaches
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high on your stove.
  2. Rinse and dry 4 ripe but firm peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit carefully with a spoon or paring knife.
  3. Lightly coat the cut sides of the peaches with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
  4. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving them to get nice char marks.
  5. Flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes until the peaches are tender but not mushy.
  6. While the peaches grill, combine 1 cup mascarpone, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir gently until smooth and creamy.
  7. Roughly chop 1/3 cup roasted pistachios and set aside for garnish.
  8. Arrange grilled peaches on serving plates, cut-side up. Dollop generous spoonfuls of honey mascarpone on each half.
  9. Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the mascarpone. Drizzle a little extra honey on top if desired. Add fresh mint leaves or a pinch of flaky sea salt for a finishing touch.
  10. Serve immediately, warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness. Preheat grill thoroughly for good caramelization. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Stir mascarpone mixture gently to maintain creamy texture. Chop pistachios fresh for best crunch. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor. Leftovers can be refrigerated separately for up to 2 days.
