Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Fire up the grill to a medium-high temperature of 400°F, creating an ideal searing environment for the stone fruits.
- Delicately coat the peach halves with a light brushing of olive oil, ensuring a seamless grilling experience and preventing unwanted adhesion.
- Position the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill grates, allowing them to caramelize and develop beautiful char marks for 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully rotate the peaches to the opposite side, continuing to grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until they reach a tender, succulent consistency.
- While the peaches are grilling, whisk together the ricotta, golden honey, and warm cinnamon in a mixing bowl until the ingredients form a smooth, creamy blend.
- Transfer the grilled peaches to serving plates, generously dolloping the aromatic ricotta mixture over the top.
- For an optional elegant touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves, adding a vibrant and refreshing note to the dessert.
Notes
- Always choose ripe but firm peaches for grilling to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
- Ensure your grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent peaches from sticking and achieve beautiful grill marks.
- For a dairy-free alternative, swap ricotta with coconut yogurt or almond-based cream cheese to maintain the creamy texture.
- Add a sprinkle of chopped toasted almonds or pistachios for extra crunch and nutty flavor that complements the sweet peaches perfectly.
