Quick and easy grilled peaches with honey and mascarpone, ready in just 6 minutes. A simple yet elegant dessert perfect for summer nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese (about 4 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • A tiny pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves, cinnamon, toasted sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).
  2. Wash and dry the peaches. Cut them in half along the natural seam, twist to separate, and remove the pit. Leave the skin on.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter to make the glaze.
  4. Using a pastry brush, coat the cut side of each peach half generously with the honey-butter mixture. Reserve any leftover glaze.
  5. Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them, until grill marks form and edges caramelize.
  6. Flip the peaches using tongs and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the skin side. The peaches should be tender but still hold their shape.
  7. Transfer the grilled peaches to a serving plate, cut-side up. Let them cool for 1 minute.
  8. Dollop about 1 tablespoon of mascarpone into the center of each peach half.
  9. Drizzle the remaining honey over the top. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt. Add optional garnishes if desired.
  10. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent mushiness. Oil grill grates well to prevent sticking. Let peaches rest 1 minute before adding mascarpone so it doesn’t melt completely. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream for mascarpone and coconut oil for butter.
