Juicy grilled peaches topped with creamy honey mascarpone—a quick, elegant summer dessert that comes together in just 10 minutes. Perfect for backyard barbecues or a simple sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium peaches, ripe but firm
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Wash and pat dry the peaches. Cut each peach in half along the natural seam, twist to separate, and remove the pit. Leave the skin on.
  3. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with melted butter.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the softened mascarpone, 2 tablespoons of honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  5. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill grates. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them, until dark grill marks appear.
  6. Flip the peaches and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still holding their shape.
  7. Remove the peaches from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter, cut side up. Let cool for about 1 minute.
  8. Spoon a generous dollop of the honey mascarpone mixture into the center of each peach half.
  9. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of honey and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt.
  10. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm peaches. Let mascarpone come to room temperature before mixing. Don’t move peaches too early on the grill; wait for dark grill marks. If using a grill pan, cast-iron works best. Leftover peaches can be stored separately from mascarpone in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
