Grilled Angel Food Cake with Grilled Peaches and Cream and Cherry Coulis

Total:: 40 min
: (includes cooling time)
Active:: 30 min

Yield:: 4 servings

Level:: Easy

Ingredients

Cake and Peaches:

Vegetable oil, for oiling grill grates
4 mini angel food cakes or sponge cake rounds
4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
1 cup whipping cream
8 ounces mascarpone
2 tablespoons honey
Seeds from 1/2 vanilla pod

Cherry Coulis:

2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 cup pistachios, crushed

Directions

For the cake and peaches: Heat a grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates with vegetable oil.

Grill the cakes until dark grill marks appear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill the flesh side of the peaches until dark grill marks appear, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

In a cold stand mixer bowl using a whisk attachment, combine the whipping cream, mascarpone, honey and vanilla. Whip to medium-stiff peaks. Set aside.

For the cherry coulis: In a blender, blend the cherries, champagne vinegar, dark brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a small saucepot and heat until the sugar dissolves. Strain out any solids if necessary and set aside to cool.

In each of 4 shallow bowls, put a small puddle of coulis. Add a cake on top of that, followed by the grilled peaches and a nice dollop of the mascarpone cream. Garnish with a happy helping of crushed pistachios.
