Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone

Beat the heat with our Summer Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone recipe. This delightful combination of grilled peaches, creamy mascarpone, and crunchy pistachios is the perfect way to end a summer meal.

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 6 MinTotal time: 16 Min

Ingredients

• 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish
• Balsamic glaze (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Peaches: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the peach halves with olive oil.
2. Grill the Peaches: Place the peach halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Flip the peaches and grill for an additional 2 minutes.
3. Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture: While the peaches are grilling, mix the mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
4. Assemble the Dish: Place the grilled peach halves on a serving platter, cut side up. Spoon a generous dollop of the mascarpone mixture onto each peach half. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top.
5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra touch of flavor, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
6. Optional Additions:
7. Cinnamon and Nutmeg: Sprinkle a little cinnamon and nutmeg on the peaches before grilling for added warmth and spice.
8. Lemon Zest: Add a bit of lemon zest to the mascarpone mixture for a fresh, citrusy kick.

Notes

Wine Pairing:

Late Harvest Riesling: The sweetness and acidity of a late harvest Riesling complement the caramelized flavors of the grilled peaches and the richness of the mascarpone.

Moscato d'Asti: A lightly sparkling Moscato d'Asti with its fruity and floral notes pairs beautifully with the sweet and creamy elements of the dish.

Prosecco: A crisp and refreshing Prosecco can provide a nice contrast to the richness of the mascarpone while enhancing the sweetness of the grilled peaches.
