A simple and cozy dessert featuring warm baked peaches drizzled with honey and cinnamon, topped with fluffy whipped mascarpone cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry 4 large ripe peaches. Cut them in half and carefully remove the pits. If peaches are large, quarter them.
  3. Arrange the peach halves cut side up in your baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the peaches (optional).
  4. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons honey with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir to blend.
  5. Drizzle the honey-cinnamon mixture generously over the peaches.
  6. Bake the peaches uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and bubbling slightly. If honey starts to burn, loosely cover with foil for the last 5 minutes.
  7. While peaches bake, whip mascarpone: in a chilled bowl, combine 1 cup mascarpone cheese, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Whip the mixture on medium-high speed until fluffy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Remove peaches from oven and let cool about 5 minutes until warm but not hot.
  10. Serve peaches warm with a generous dollop of whipped mascarpone on top. Drizzle with extra honey if desired.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture. Watch oven closely after 15 minutes to prevent burning. Whip mascarpone gently to avoid curdling. Local honey enhances flavor. Optional butter adds richness. For vegan version, substitute coconut cream and maple syrup for mascarpone and honey.
