Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer recipe featuring grilled peaches topped with honey-sweetened ricotta and crunchy toasted pistachios, perfect for a light dessert or brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pit carefully. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil to avoid sticking.
  2. In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with 2 tablespoons of honey and lemon zest. Stir gently until smooth but still a bit textured.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C).
  4. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving them, until you see good char marks and the fruit softens slightly but still holds shape. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes.
  5. While peaches grill, toast pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned, stirring often to avoid burning.
  6. Remove peaches from the grill and let cool for a minute. Dollop a generous spoonful of honey ricotta onto each peach half. Sprinkle with toasted pistachios and, if desired, scatter fresh mint leaves on top.
  7. Drizzle a little extra honey over everything before serving.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Use medium-high heat to get good grill marks without burning. The ricotta mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a day. Toast pistachios carefully to avoid burning. For vegan version, substitute ricotta with almond or coconut ricotta and honey with maple syrup.
