Honey-Lemon Grilled Peaches with Dreamsicle Mascarpone
A scrumptiously decadent dessert that keeps the heat out of your kitchen in the middle of the Summer.
Ingredients
- 4 whole peaches pitted and halved
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large lemon zest and juice of
Dreamsicle Cream
- 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 whole orange zest
- 1 whole orange juice, half of
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds optional
- 1/4 cup shortbread cookies crumbled, optional
Instructions
- Prepare a grill for medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, build an even layer of hot coals on the bottom and remove the ring if it has one so the coals are exposed.
- Prepare the foil packets: Lay out a double layer of large heavy-duty aluminum foil pieces in an X formation, totaling 2 packets.
- Distribute the peaches, cut side down, 2 tablespoons of the honey and the butter evenly between the packets.
- Bring up all 4 sides of the foil, but don’t seal. Grate the lemon zest evenly between each packet. Squeeze the lemon juice evenly between each packet.
- Tightly seal the foil. Place the packets directly on the grill, or onto the coals (if using charcoal grill) and cook until the peaches are tender and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes (if peaches are ripe), 20-25 minutes (it peaches are not yet ripe).
Dreamsicle Cream
- Meanwhile, vigorously whisk the mascarpone, heavy cream, remaining 2 tablespoons honey, vanilla extract, orange zest and orange juice in a large bowl until lightened and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the foil packets from the grill, carefully open and allow some steam to escape.
- Spoon some peaches along with some of their juices into a serving bowl. Dollop the dreamsicle cream over the top (it will slowly melt into creamy goodness). Garnish with crushed almonds and shortbread cookies (which is optional).
