A quick and easy summer dessert featuring caramelized grilled peaches topped with a luscious honey mascarpone and crunchy pistachios, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (about 8 oz or 240g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • ½ cup shelled and roughly chopped pistachios (unsalted)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter, for brushing peaches

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the peaches. Carefully halve and pit them. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). Test by flicking a few drops of water; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes without moving them, until char marks appear and they start to soften. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2–3 minutes. The peaches should be tender but still hold shape.
  4. In a bowl, combine the softened mascarpone, 2 tablespoons honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of cinnamon if using. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  5. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pistachios for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat once fragrant and slightly golden.
  6. Spoon a generous dollop of the honey mascarpone onto each peach half. Sprinkle with toasted pistachios. Drizzle with a little extra honey for shine and sweetness.
  7. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

If you don’t have a grill, use a broiler or stovetop grill pan. For dairy-free, substitute mascarpone with coconut cream or almond-based cream cheese. For nut-free, replace pistachios with toasted pumpkin seeds or omit nuts. Toast pistachios carefully to avoid burning. Prepare mascarpone mixture ahead to meld flavors but grill peaches fresh for best texture.
