Print Recipe

Warm, caramelized grilled peaches topped with a light and airy honey mascarpone cream. This easy summer dessert comes together in under 15 minutes and is perfect for backyard barbecues or a simple weeknight treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe but firm peaches
  • 8 ounces (about 1 cup) mascarpone cheese
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (like Maldon)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F). Wash and dry the peaches. Cut each peach in half along the natural seam, twist to separate, and remove the pit. You should have 8 peach halves.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, 3 tablespoons honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk or beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate while you grill the peaches.
  3. In a small bowl, melt the butter. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the cut side of each peach half with the melted butter. If using cinnamon, sprinkle a tiny pinch over the buttered cut sides.
  4. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the hot grill grates. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until distinct grill marks appear. Flip the peaches and grill for another 2-3 minutes on the skin side, until warmed through and slightly softened.
  5. Transfer the grilled peach halves to a serving platter or individual plates, cut-side up. Spoon a generous dollop of the honey mascarpone cream into the center of each peach half. Drizzle with extra honey, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm peaches. If peaches are too soft, they will fall apart on the grill. The honey mascarpone cream can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. If you don’t have a grill, you can use a cast-iron grill pan on the stovetop or broil the peaches in the oven.
