A quick and easy summer dessert featuring caramelized grilled peaches topped with creamy honey mascarpone and crunchy pistachios, perfect for last-minute gatherings or a simple treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese (about 240g), room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • ½ cup shelled and roughly chopped pistachios (unsalted)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing
  • Lemon zest from 1 lemon (optional)
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves, torn (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C), allowing about 10 minutes to get hot.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice them in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, honey, and lemon zest if using. Stir gently until smooth and creamy.
  4. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes without moving to develop grill marks and soften slightly.
  5. Flip peaches carefully and grill the skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  6. Remove peaches from the grill and let cool slightly for a couple of minutes.
  7. Spoon generous dollops of the honey mascarpone over the warm peaches.
  8. Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top and drizzle with extra honey.
  9. Garnish with torn mint leaves if desired and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

If peaches are underripe or tart, dust with cinnamon before grilling for added warmth. Mascarpone mix can be made ahead to allow flavors to meld. For nut-free version, substitute pistachios with toasted coconut flakes. If no grill is available, use a hot cast-iron skillet to pan-sear peaches. Store leftovers separately and reheat gently to preserve texture.
