Best Grilled Peaches with Cream:
One of the best things about the summer grill is all of the options for things to put on it.
I love grilling meats and summer veggies of course, but I also love grilling fruits for an amazing dessert option.
I love grilling pineapple, pears, watermelon, and sweet Georgia peaches.
Grilling fruit brings out their natural sweet flavors, but also leaves a savory taste from the grill, and a little extra texture from the char of the grill top.
The family and I made some amazing grilled Georgia peaches the other day with brown sugar rubbed in and topped with whipped mascarpone and fresh Tennessee honey.
These peach halves were so light and fresh, sweet and savory, and a healthy twist of a sweet dessert.
This is our favorite dessert by far right now, and it should, because this Sunday is Father's Day and National Peaches And Cream Day!
So let's just say that I am stocking up on more peaches today so that I have something to grill up on Sunday.
They don't last long when they taste this good!
Simple Ingredient List:
- 4 in peaches, cut half, pits taken out
- brown sugar
- mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- fresh honey
- cooking oil
Easy Instructions:
- Rub the oil on the area of the grill that the peaches will cook.
- Place each peach half pit-side down, on the oiled grill over medium heat until grill char marks form on the touched surface of each peach, about 3-4 minutes.
- Flip the peaches over, pit-side up. Place a small amount of brown sugar over the inside of each peach half and continue to grill. After approximately 2-4 minutes, the brown sugar will have turned into a brown glaze.
- Take off the grill, add 1 teaspoon of whipped mascarpone (take your room temperature mascarpone and with a spoon, quickly stir the cheese until it becomes light and fluffy, about 30 seconds) in the pit area, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey.
Peaches for this Recipe:
This is very simple... use ripe peaches for the best experience.
If they are slightly softened and you can easily smell peach exuding from them - then they are perfectly ripe for this recipe!
If they are hard as a rock or they are squishy and super soft, then they aren't going to be best for this recipe.
Grilled Peach Pairings:
Well, if the grill is hot and ready, you might as well grill up your entire meal.
I mean... we usually treat these grilled peaches as a dessert, but you can definitely treat them as a sweet side dish, snack, or main course if you're a dessert-before-dinner type of person (I am!).
We love to start our meal with grilled jalapeno poppers and grilled marinated potato skewers.
Great grilled pairings include our grilled rosemary skewers and as a main course we have been almost living off of the BBQ Bacon Pineapple Chicken Kabobs or our ever-popular Adobo Pork Ribs!
Of course these grilled creamy sweet peaches are going to be delectable with anything else, but they are particularly amazing on a warm summer evening after being served up a sizzling spicy meal!
The sweet honey and calm creamy sweet cheese help cut through the spice that is left on your palate from dinner.
Other Grilled Favorites:

Cuban Mojo Chimichurri Pork Ribs

Storing Leftovers:
You won't need to worry about this - there won't be any.
BUT... if you are the exception - store the leftover grilled peaches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

More, more, more! I can't get enough peaches. Why is peach season not longer, whyyyyy?
I'm right there with ya girl! Peach season never lasts long enough! But...it's sooooo good when it's here!
Grilled peaches are one of my favorites!!!
Love that you paired with marscapone. Sounds delicious.
Oh my goodness! It is sooooo delicious with the mascarpone! You gotta try it!
wow, this looks amazing!
They do taste pretty amazing 🙂
This is a great way to keep the house cool. In the summer, grill the peaches outdoors, and have an appetizer that tastes great and is good for you.
