Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring smoky-sweet bourbon grilled peaches topped with creamy mascarpone, perfect for warm evenings and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry peaches, cut in half and remove pits. Score the flesh lightly in a crosshatch pattern.
  2. In a small bowl, mix bourbon and brown sugar until sugar dissolves slightly. Let sit for 2 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
  4. Brush cut side of each peach half generously with bourbon glaze and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Place peaches cut-side down on grill. Cook 3-4 minutes until caramelized grill marks appear.
  6. Flip peaches and cook 2 more minutes skin side down, watching to avoid flare-ups.
  7. While peaches grill, whisk mascarpone with honey, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  8. Arrange grilled peaches on serving plate, top with mascarpone mixture, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If bourbon glaze thickens too much, add a splash of water or more bourbon to loosen it. Use firm peaches to prevent mushiness. Oil grill grates before heating to prevent sticking. Whip mascarpone gently to avoid graininess. Serve peaches warm or at room temperature for best flavor. Leftovers keep up to two days refrigerated.
