A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches topped with creamy honey ricotta and crunchy pistachios, delivering a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup shelled and roughly chopped pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). Wash the peaches and pat them dry.
  2. Brush each peach lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and help develop caramelization.
  3. Place the peaches whole on the grill and grill for about 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the skin starts to blister.
  4. Carefully halve the peaches after removing them from the grill, twist to separate the halves, and remove the pits gently.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if desired.
  6. Toast the pistachios in a small dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat.
  7. Spoon a generous dollop of the honey ricotta over each warm peach half, then sprinkle with toasted pistachios.
  8. Drizzle additional honey on top for a glossy finish and serve immediately.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid them falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches lightly with olive oil before grilling. Toast pistachios fresh for best flavor. Ricotta topping can be made ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving. For dairy-free, substitute ricotta with coconut-based cream cheese or cashew cream. For vegan, use plant-based cream cheese and maple syrup instead of honey.
