Grilled peaches are a delightful summer treat that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger dessert. They are simple to make and can be grilled on an outdoor grill or in a grill pan. The peaches are brushed with a mixture of amaretto and melted butter, then grilled until they are caramelized and slightly charred. The mascarpone cream is made by simply whipping together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. It is a rich and creamy accompaniment to the grilled peaches.
This article provides two recipes: one for grilled peaches with amaretto mascarpone and one for grilled peaches with a simple honey glaze. Both recipes are easy to follow and yield delicious results. The grilled peaches with amaretto mascarpone are perfect for a special occasion, while the grilled peaches with honey glaze are a great everyday dessert.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, build an even layer of hot coals on the bottom and remove the ring if it has one so the coals are exposed.
- Prepare the foil packets: Lay out a double layer of large heavy-duty aluminum foil pieces in an X formation, totaling 2 packets. Distribute the peaches, cut side down, 2 tablespoons of the honey and the butter evenly between the packets. Bring up all 4 sides of the foil, but don't seal. Grate the lemon zest evenly between each packet. Squeeze the lemon juice evenly between each packet or add 2 tablespoons of white wine to each packet. Tightly seal the foil. Place the packets directly onto the coals and cook until the peaches are tender and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, vigorously whisk the mascarpone, heavy cream, remaining 2 tablespoons honey, vanilla extract, orange zest and orange juice in a large bowl until lightened and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the foil packets from the grill, carefully open and allow some steam to escape. Spoon some peaches along with some of their juices into a serving bowl. Dollop the citrus mascarpone over the top. Garnish with crushed almonds and shortbread cookies. Serve!
- (Alternatively, you can bake the foil packets in a 350 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.)
GRILLED PEACHES WITH AMARETTI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a grill with a single layer of charcoal. When the coals are hot, brush the grill with a little oil to make sure the peaches don't stick. Place the peaches, cut side down, on the grill and cook for a few minutes, until they're slightly charred.
- Place the peaches in an oven-proof dish, sprinkle each half with a little vanilla sugar. Combine the rum and amaretto and drizzle 1/2 of it on the peaches. Bake the peaches for about 10 minutes, until they're very tender. Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold with crumbled amaretti cookies on top or with the cookies on the side. I like to serve them with a dollop of creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream.
- Vanilla Sugar:
- Find a jar tall enough to hold 2 vanilla beans. Fill the bottle with sugar and cover tightly. Store on a pantry shelf. After about 3 months you will have a wonderful ingredient for cooking and baking. Keep adding vanilla beans and sugar to the jar and you will have it for years.

- Remove from the heat, top each peach with a dollop of the mascarpone mixture in the hole where the pit was. Sprinkle with crushed cookies (I like to use Amaretto Biscotti) and garnish with raspberries.

Steps:
- Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Lightly brush the grill pan or rack with oil. Place the peaches on the grill pan and do not move the peaches, otherwise you will not have those great grill marks. It takes about 2 to 3 minutes per side to get those grill marks. Grill the peaches until the grill marks are formed, slightly softened and heated through, about 5 to 6 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, stir the sugar, brandy, and lemon juice in a medium bowl to blend. Set the brandy mixture aside.
- As the peaches are ready, remove them from the grill and place them in a shallow baking dish. Top them with the brandy mixture, and toss to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes and allow to marinate, tossing occasionally.
- Meanwhile, stir the mascarpone and vanilla in a small bowl to blend.
- Divide the grilled peach mixture equally among 6 coupe dishes. Pour the wine over the peaches. Dollop the mascarpone mixture atop the peaches, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose ripe peaches. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet smell. Avoid peaches that are too hard or have bruises.
- Grill the peaches over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning. If the peaches are too close to the heat, they will cook too quickly and become mushy.
- Cook the peaches until they are slightly caramelized. This will give them a delicious smoky flavor.
- Serve the peaches warm or at room temperature. They can be served on their own or with a variety of toppings, such as mascarpone cheese, ice cream, or whipped cream.
- Add a splash of amaretto liqueur to the mascarpone cheese for an extra flavor boost.
- Experiment with different toppings. Try adding chopped nuts, crumbled cookies, or fresh berries to the peaches.
Conclusion:
Grilled peaches are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for summer. They can be served on their own or with a variety of toppings, making them a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give grilled peaches a try!
