- Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook until lightly charred and softened, about 3-4 minutes. Turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender but still holding their shape.
- Arrange the peaches on a serving platter or individual plates. Top each half with a generous dollop of the honey mascarpone.
- Sprinkle with the toasted hazelnuts and drizzle with additional honey if desired. Serve immediately.½ cup hazelnuts
Notes
- Always clean and oil the grill grates before cooking to help prevent sticking.
- Chill the mascarpone mixture until ready to serve. The contrast between cool cream and warm peaches is what makes this dessert so good!
- Toast the hazelnuts just before chopping for the best flavor. It only takes a few minutes and makes a huge difference.
- If your peaches are especially sweet, reduce the honey and let the fruit shine.
- Don't move the peaches around once they're on the grill. Let them sit undisturbed to develop nice grill marks and prevent tearing.
