Print Recipe

These grilled peaches with cinnamon ricotta creme are the perfect way to use fresh stone fruit. This simple, yet delicious dessert is a show stopper!

Ingredients

Scale
    • 6 peaches
    • Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing peaches
    • 1 cup ricotta cheese
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ tablespoon brown sugar
    • ¼ cup chopped pecans
    • honey to taste
    • Salt to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Cinnamon Ricotta Crème:

    1. If using fresh homemade ricotta, mix the cinnamon ricotta crème before refrigerating. If using store-bought ricotta, take out of the refrigerator about 30-minutes prior to allow it soften up a little.

    1. Add all of the cinnamon ricotta crème ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Whisk together. The crème may be a little too thin for serving right away, so refrigerate it while grilling the peaches to allow the crème to firm up.

Prepare the Peaches

    1. Using a sharp paring knife, run it down the seam of the peach. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits.

  1. Brush the cut side of the peaches with oil.

Grill the Peaches

    1. Grill the peaches with the oiled cut-side down over medium-high heat until grill marks form and the peaches begin to brown; about 3 to 5 minutes.

    1. Flip the peaches and grill for an additional 3 to 5 minutes more, or until the peaches are soft, but should not fall apart or become mushy.

    1. Remove the peaches from the grill.

Serve the Peaches

Serve the grilled peaches with a dollop or two of the cinnamon ricotta crème, sprinkle with chopped pecans and drizzle with honey. (Editors note: We like to add a sprinkle flaky salt, too!)
