Print Recipe

A quick and easy grilled peaches dessert topped with honey-sweetened mascarpone and toasted pistachios, perfect for summer gatherings and light indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (about 8 oz or 240 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped and toasted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing peaches
  • Cinnamon (optional), for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
  2. Rinse and dry peaches, slice in half and remove pits. Brush each peach half lightly with olive oil.
  3. Toast pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, 2 tablespoons honey, and lemon juice. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if desired.
  5. Place peaches cut side down on the grill grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks.
  6. Flip peaches carefully and grill skin side for another 2 minutes until warm and slightly softened but still holding shape.
  7. Transfer grilled peaches to a serving plate, cut side up. Spoon honey mascarpone over each half.
  8. Sprinkle toasted pistachios on top and drizzle with extra honey.
  9. Optionally, dust lightly with cinnamon or garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to prevent mushiness. Brush peaches with olive oil, not the grill, to avoid flare-ups. Toast pistachios gently and stir often. If mascarpone is too thick, loosen with a splash of cream or milk. Prepare toppings while peaches grill to serve warm and fresh. For dairy-free, substitute mascarpone with coconut yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
