Print Recipe

Juicy grilled peaches paired with creamy honey-ricotta and crunchy pistachios create a quick, simple, and delicious summer dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh peaches, ripe but firm, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese (about 250g)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup as a substitute)
  • 1/4 cup shelled, roughly chopped pistachios (about 30g)
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • Optional: lemon zest
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice each peach in half and remove the pit.
  3. Brush the cut sides of the peaches lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and help caramelization.
  4. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill and grill for 3-4 minutes without moving them to create char marks.
  5. Flip the peaches and grill the skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  6. While the peaches grill, combine ricotta cheese and honey in a small bowl; stir gently to blend. Add lemon zest if desired.
  7. Roughly chop the pistachios for texture.
  8. Place grilled peaches on a serving plate, spoon a generous dollop of the honey-ricotta mixture over each half, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
  9. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if using.
  10. Serve immediately, warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Brush peaches with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking. Do not flip peaches too soon to get good caramelization. Mix ricotta and honey gently to avoid watery texture. Roughly chop pistachios for best crunch. Can substitute pistachios with toasted almonds or walnuts. For vegan version, use coconut yogurt and maple syrup. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently before serving.
