Print Recipe

A quick and easy dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy honey mascarpone and crunchy pistachios, perfect for summer gatherings or late-night cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (about 240g) mascarpone cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/3 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped (preferably unsalted)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter for brushing
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
  2. Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  3. Optional: Toast pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  4. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens. Flip and grill skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but holding shape.
  5. While peaches grill, combine mascarpone, honey, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Adjust honey to taste.
  6. Remove peaches from grill and let cool slightly (about 2 minutes). Spoon honey mascarpone onto each peach half. Sprinkle with toasted pistachios and drizzle extra honey on top.
  7. Serve immediately, optionally sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.

Notes

Brush peaches with oil or butter to prevent sticking and aid caramelization. Toast pistachios carefully to avoid burning. Let mascarpone sit at room temperature before mixing to avoid graininess. Grill peaches on medium-high heat and avoid flipping too often to get good char marks.
