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.

Just ok
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

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.Read more

Fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this several times at our outdoor barbecues. I do not use the wine and the cheese. Instead I used a good brandy,... chopped some walnuts and added it to the mixture. I served it with whipped cream on top. My guests loved this version. Good luck!Read more

So good and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I did this at a dinner party and it worked perfectly. The only thing I changed was the cheese. I used a local pear goat... cheese instead of the mascapone to make it a totally local dish. The guests raved especially my sister who is gluten and dairy intolorant. Finally a dessert our whole family can enjoy!Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Super quick, a hit every time I make it. The best part is being able to finish this off quickly while guests are over. Also... great for summer cooking and not a lot of heat in the house.Read more

AWFUL!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I was so excited about this dish...it sounded elegant, rich and yummy. Yummy it was not! It was AWFUL! I prepared it... exactly as directed. In my opinion, the dry white wine ruined it. I modified the recipe by omitting the wine AND Mascarpone cheese. Instead, I used a dollop of real vanilla ice cream and added fresh raspberries. DELISH!Read more

very very good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is an easy and simple recipe i can prepare in 20 mins. Brandy is a must as it brings the wonderful flavor. the second... time i made it we drank all the wine during dinner. but i still served it as a dessert without wine. Still taste wonderful. Be careful on the quality of the wine as it makes the dramatic difference. choose something a bit sweet and something you would drink. a great success. thanks giada.Read more
