🍑 GRILLED PEACHES WITH MASCARPONE & STICKY BALSAMIC DRIZZLE (A Symphony of Sweet & Tangy!)
⏲️ Prep Time: 10 mins 🔥 Cook Time: 8 mins 👥 Serves: 4
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
• 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
• 250g / 9 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 vanilla bean, scraped (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
• Fresh raspberries (about 2 punnets)
• Sticky Balsamic Original (our star ingredient! 🌟)
• A tiny pinch of sea salt
• Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
THE MAGIC HAPPENS HERE:
1. First things first - let's get that grill HOT! Medium-high heat is your friend here.
2. While your grill is heating up, let's make the world's most luxurious mascarpone cream:
-
- Mix mascarpone, honey, vanilla, and that tiny pinch of salt
- Whip until it's cloud-like and dreamy
- Try not to eat it all straight from the bowl (we know it's tempting! 😉)
3. Now for the peaches:
-
- Cut those beauties in half and remove the pits
- Brush with a teensy bit of neutral oil
- Place them cut-side down on the grill
- Listen for the satisfying sizzle! 🔥
4. Grill for 4-5 minutes until you see those gorgeous grill marks (they're like beauty marks for peaches!)
5. Time for the grand assembly:
-
- Place your grilled peaches on pretty plates
- Add a generous dollop of that heavenly mascarpone
- Scatter fresh raspberries around like confetti
- Now for the pièce de résistance: drizzle with our Original Sticky Balsamic
- Optional: add mint leaves if you're feeling fancy!
👩🍳 CHEF'S TIPS:
• Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm - if they're too soft, they'll become peach pudding (which isn't necessarily bad, just messy!)
• Let the mascarpone come to room temperature for ultimate creaminess
• The balsamic drizzle should be the final touch - it's like putting on your favorite jewelry, save it for last! ✨
🌟 WHY THIS WORKS: The warm, caramelized peaches + cool, creamy mascarpone + fresh raspberries + our premium Sticky Balsamic create a flavor party in your mouth! The balsamic's natural sweetness and complexity ties everything together like a perfect conductor in a delicious orchestra.
🍽️ PERFECT FOR:
• Summer entertaining
• Date night desserts
• Making your family think you've become a fancy chef
• Showing off at BBQs
• Any time you want to feel a bit fancy without too much effort!
Remember: Life is short - eat dessert first, especially when it involves Sticky Balsamic! 🍑✨
