Mascarpone Roasted Peaches
Description
Large ripe peaches are halved and pitted before being placed cut side up in a baking dish. They are drizzled with honey and roasted in a hot oven until softened and slightly caramelized. The roasting helps concentrate their natural sweetness and softens their flesh.
Once roasted, the peaches are topped with a smooth, sweetened mascarpone mixture flavored with vanilla sugar and lemon juice, which adds a subtle tang and aromatic notes to balance the richness of the mascarpone and honey.
This dessert can be served immediately while the peaches are still warm, offering a contrast between the soft, juicy fruit and the creamy topping. It pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of toasted nuts if desired.
Using mature, ripe peaches ensures the pits separate easily from the flesh, facilitating the preparation. Vanilla sugar can be substituted with a few drops of vanilla extract cautiously to avoid overpowering the delicate flavors.
Ingredients
- 4 peach large
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ⅔ cup mascarpone
- 3 tablespoons vanilla sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit and place them inside a gratin dish placing cut side up. Sprinkle honey all over and place in the hot oven for 20 minutes.
- Mix the mascarpone, vanilla sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Once the peaches are done spread the mascarpone with the help of a spoon and spatula. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Choose fully ripe peaches so the pit separates easily for easier preparation.
- If you don't have vanilla sugar, substitute with a small amount of vanilla extract, but use sparingly to keep balance.
- Yellow peaches are recommended for their flavor in this dessert.
