Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring grilled peaches topped with creamy honey mascarpone and fresh basil, perfect for casual gatherings or elegant dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (about 240 grams) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons honey, preferably raw or wildflower
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly torn or sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and carefully remove the pits. Brush each peach half lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and help caramelize the fruit.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
  3. Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook without moving for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften.
  4. Flip gently with tongs and grill the skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
  5. While peaches grill, combine mascarpone cheese, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix gently until smooth and creamy.
  6. Transfer grilled peaches to serving plates, cut side up. Spoon a generous dollop of honey mascarpone over each peach half.
  7. Sprinkle torn basil leaves on top and finish with a small pinch of sea salt.
  8. Serve immediately, warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If peaches aren’t caramelizing well, add a bit of sugar to the olive oil brush. Avoid overcrowding the grill to get perfect grill marks. Add basil just before serving to keep its fresh flavor. For dairy-free, substitute mascarpone with whipped coconut cream sweetened with maple syrup.
