Print Recipe

A simple and satisfying summer dessert featuring grilled ripe peaches topped with a creamy, sweet honey ricotta mixture. This recipe balances smoky caramelized fruit with a light, airy topping for a memorable treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of whole milk ricotta with 2 tablespoons of honey and the grated zest of half a lemon. Whisk briskly until smooth and slightly fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside in the fridge to keep cool.
  2. Rinse and dry 4 ripe but firm peaches. Slice them in half and remove the pits carefully. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). If using charcoal, wait until the coals are covered with white ash.
  4. Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill or grill pan. Grill for about 3-4 minutes without moving to develop sear marks. Flip carefully and grill the skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
  5. Transfer peaches to a plate and let them cool for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. Spoon generous dollops of the honey ricotta over each peach half. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon and chopped fresh mint leaves on top if desired.
  7. Drizzle a little extra honey over everything just before serving.

Notes

Choose peaches that yield slightly to the touch but are not mushy for best grilling results. Brush cut sides with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization. Whisk ricotta with honey and lemon zest until airy for a light texture. Serve shortly after assembling for best contrast between warm peaches and cool ricotta. Leftovers should be stored separately and consumed within 1-2 days.
