A quick and easy summer dessert featuring grilled peaches topped with creamy honey mascarpone and crunchy pistachios, perfect for backyard barbecues or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (about 8 oz) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus more for drizzling
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, for brushing peaches
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry 4 ripe peaches. Cut each in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 5 minutes.
  3. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes without moving them, then flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes until tender with caramelized grill marks.
  4. While peaches grill, combine 1 cup mascarpone, 3 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest in a bowl. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy.
  5. Roughly chop ½ cup shelled pistachios and set aside.
  6. Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter or individual plates, cut side up. Dollop each half with a generous spoonful of honey mascarpone.
  7. Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top, drizzle with extra honey, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if using.

Notes

Use freestone peaches for easy pitting. If peaches aren’t ripe, grilling brings out their sweetness but avoid overly soft peaches to prevent mushiness. Mix mascarpone gently to keep it fluffy. For a vegan option, substitute mascarpone with coconut cream or dairy-free cream cheese. If no grill is available, roast peaches at 425°F for 10-12 minutes until caramelized. Store grilled peaches and mascarpone separately in the fridge for up to 2 days.
