We’re back!

Please don’t hate me, I know it’s been a while!

(it’s been almost 3 weeks but we’ve been busy!)

I can’t believe five months went by so fast! I miss Europe everyday. The morning lattés, the beautiful scenery, the people and the way of living…

But I am back home and it’s summer (sort of!) so let’s take advantage of it!

The thing I miss the most when it comes to food is the fresh fruits we were eating every morning.

So what better way to feel a little less “Eurosick” than to make recipes with fruits right? (I’m really trying here!)

Ok!

So, peaches!

I loveeeee peaches when they’re fresh and juicy, I could eat 20 of them a day!

But what about grilled peaches as a nice and fresh summer dessert?

I missed my BBQ so much while we were gone that I’m grilling almost everything we make nowadays!

Let’s face it, heavy desserts on a hot summer day aren’t too popular so let’s switch it up a bit and make something light and delicious!

Peaches – Maple Syrup – Yogurt – Mascarpone

How hard can it be right?

Now get up and go to your nearest farmer’s market (yes, farmer’s market because we have to encourage our local farmers people!!) and get some delicious peaches! Make sure they’re not too ripe because you don’t want them to fall apart on the barbie!

Get a tan and get grillin’!

Enjoy!

Course: Dessert    Yield: 4 servings    Prep Time: 25 mins    Cook Time: 10 mins  


Ingredients

  • 4 peaches, still a bit firm
  • 1/2 Cup of maple syrup (the real stuff!)
  • 2 Tablespoon of dehydrated maple syrup
  • 1 Cup of mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 Cup of greek yogurt (thick!)
  • fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by turning your BBQ on at 350F.
  2. wash the peaches and pat them dry. Cut them in half and remove the core. Baste the peaches with a bit of maple syrup: enough so they are all coated.
  3. In a stand mixer, mix the mascarpone, yogurt, maple syrup and dehydrated maple syrup. Place in a bowl and put in the fridge to cool some more.
  4. When your BBQ is ready, place the half peaches on their flat side on the grill. Let them grill for a minute and rotate them so the grilling marks are criss-crossed and pretty! Grill them for another minute like that and then flip them on their back for another minute.
  5. Place a bit of your mascarpone mixture on your plate, place 2 halves on each plate and drop a dollop of mascarpone on each piece, drizzle some maple syrup and tadaaaa!
  6. Enjoy with a nice glass of prosecco!
  7. La Vita è Bella!
