Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 4 sprigs fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix together mascarpone cheese, amaretto liqueur, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the peaches.
Place the peaches cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened.
Flip the peaches over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the skin side. Remove from grill and set aside.
Drizzle the grilled peaches with honey while they're still warm.
Spoon a generous dollop of the amaretto mascarpone mixture onto each peach half.
Sprinkle with sliced almonds for added crunch.
Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and serve immediately.
