Photo: Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 3 firm but ripe peaches, pitted, quartered
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup dry white wine
Directions
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.

I make this recipe throughout the summer months by request of friends and family! Modified it a little, I leave out the wine (Honestly, it seems a little much. Instead of wine, I sprinkle a little finely chopped toasted pecans and then add the cheese. Yum!

I made this tonight for a BBQ with friends. I did not use the white wine (honestly, I forgot! but I'm glad because I think it would make it too sweet. Also, I used more vanilla in the mascarpone than called for - double or triple probably. It was very easy to make and didn't take me away from socializing because the preparation is almost non-existent. Will definitely make again - and have already recommended it to a friend who couldn't join us! Delicious.

This is the first time I have made this and I was really excited to try it because the peaches I bought were so sweet. Well, It was not that great, I would say this is just average. I would not serve it to guests at all. I will not make this again either.
