Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy honey mascarpone and crunchy toasted pistachios, perfect for casual gatherings or a light finish to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (240g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup shelled and chopped pistachios, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • A small handful fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by washing, halving, and pitting them. Brush each half lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with ground cinnamon if desired. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, honey, and lemon zest until smooth and fluffy. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Toast pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat, chop roughly, and set aside.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften. Flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes on the skin side.
  6. Arrange grilled peaches on plates, dollop with honey mascarpone, sprinkle with toasted pistachios, and garnish with chopped mint leaves if using. Drizzle extra honey on top.
  7. Serve immediately warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use firmer peaches to hold shape on the grill. Lightly brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Let grill marks form by not flipping too soon. Toast pistachios just before serving for best aroma and crunch. Honey mascarpone can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. If no grill is available, broil peaches in the oven or pan-sear them.
