Serves 4 | Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 8 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted (you could also use apricots)
- 200g mascarpone cheese
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3-4 tbsp Sticky Balsamic Original Pearls
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh thyme or mint leaves for garnish
- Optional: chopped pistachios or almonds
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Prep the Peaches: Brush peach halves lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Make Mascarpone Cream: In a bowl, gently fold together mascarpone, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
4. Grill the Peaches: Place peach halves cut-side down on grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until beautiful grill marks appear. Flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes until tender and caramelized.
5. Plate and Garnish: Arrange grilled peaches on serving plates. Add a dollop of mascarpone cream to the center of each peach half.
6. The Star Moment: Generously scatter Sticky Balsamic Original Pearls over and around the peaches - they provide incredible bursts of sweet-tangy flavor that complement the caramelized fruit perfectly!
7. Final Touch: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately while peaches are still warm.
Why This Combination Works: The natural sweetness of grilled peaches pairs beautifully with the rich creaminess of mascarpone, while our balsamic pearls add sophisticated flavor bursts that elevate this simple dessert into restaurant-quality elegance.
