GRILLED PEACHES WITH HONEY AND MASCARPONE

 

 

Preparation: 30 min; Cooking time: 15 min.

4 servings

 

4 peaches (not too ripe)

8 oz of mascarpone cheese

½ lemon juice

1 vanilla bean

2 1/8 oz of confectioners’ sugar

5 tbsp of honey         

1 3/8 of unsalted butter

1 ¾ of sliced almonds

 

Peel the peaches and cut them in half.

In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese with the lemon juice, the sugar and the seeds of the vanilla bean (cut the vanilla bean in half and using a little knife, take the seeds out).

In a small frying pan, toast the almonds a few minutes until golden brown.

In a large frying pan, warm the honey and butter on high heat. Add the peaches a cook them 5 minutes on both sides. With a spoon, scoop the honey over the peaches regularly while cooking.

Place the warm peaches in a baking dish (keep the caramel warm in the frying pan). Add a scoop of the mascarpone preparation on top of each peach and sprinkle with toasted almonds.

Turn the broiler on high and grill the peaches 3 to 5 minutes.

Serve hot with the caramel.
