A simple and elegant dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy honey ricotta and crunchy pistachios, perfect for summer evenings and entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup (30 g) shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Wash and dry the peaches. Slice each in half and remove the pits carefully. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. In a bowl, combine ricotta, honey, and lemon juice. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Adjust honey to taste if desired.
  4. Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks and caramelization.
  5. Flip peaches and grill skin side for 2-3 minutes until warmed through, watching closely to avoid charring.
  6. While peaches grill, toast pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.
  7. Remove peaches from heat and let rest for a minute. Spoon a generous dollop of honey ricotta over each peach half, then sprinkle with toasted pistachios.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to avoid mushiness. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and help develop grill marks. Toast pistachios gently to release aroma without burning. Mix honey into ricotta just before serving to maintain creamy texture. If no grill is available, broil peaches or cook in a hot skillet for caramelization.
