A quick and easy summer dessert featuring grilled peaches caramelized to perfection, topped with creamy honey-sweetened ricotta and crunchy pistachios for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ¼ cup (about 30g) shelled, roughly chopped pistachios
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pits carefully.
  3. Brush the cut sides of the peaches lightly with olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and promote caramelization.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk gently until smooth and creamy.
  5. Place the peach halves cut side down on the hot grill or grill pan. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften.
  6. Flip the peaches gently and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid mushiness or burning.
  7. Transfer grilled peaches to serving plates, cut side up. Spoon generous dollops of the honey ricotta mixture over each half.
  8. Sprinkle roughly chopped pistachios on top and dust lightly with cinnamon if desired.
  9. Drizzle a little extra honey over the top just before serving.

Notes

Use firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches with oil or butter instead of greasing the grill. Toast pistachios before chopping for enhanced flavor. If using a grill pan, ensure it is well-seasoned or lightly oiled. For vegan adaptation, substitute ricotta with plant-based alternatives and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
