Sticky, glossy bourbon glazed grilled peaches paired with creamy mascarpone create a perfect balance of warm, tender fruit and cool, rich topping. This easy and impressive dessert is ideal for summer or fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (60 ml)
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar (70 g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (28 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, chilled (240 g)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the peaches and cut them in half, removing the pits. Pat dry with a paper towel to help the glaze stick better.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine bourbon, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir gently until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt at the end. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Brush the cut side of each peach half generously with the bourbon glaze. Place cut side down on the grill and grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but remain firm. Flip and brush the skin side with glaze, grilling another 2-3 minutes.
  5. While grilling, stir together mascarpone, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Chill or serve at room temperature as preferred.
  6. Arrange grilled peaches on a platter or individual plates. Spoon a generous dollop of mascarpone over each half and drizzle any remaining glaze on top. Optionally, sprinkle extra cinnamon or chopped fresh mint.

Notes

If glaze thickens too much after cooling, warm gently before brushing. Watch grill closely to avoid burning the sugar. Use firm peaches for best results. For dairy-free, substitute mascarpone with coconut cream and use plant-based butter. To make vegan, use non-alcoholic bourbon-flavored syrup.
