Print Recipe

A cozy and easy dessert featuring baked peaches drizzled with a honey-cinnamon glaze and topped with creamy mascarpone. Perfect for busy weeknights or a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw wildflower honey)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup creamy mascarpone, chilled
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • A pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice them in half and remove the pits. Place the halves cut side up in a baking dish, spacing them evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, combine honey, ground cinnamon, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until smooth and shiny.
  4. Brush or spoon the glaze generously over the peach halves, ensuring each one is well coated.
  5. Sprinkle lemon zest evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until peaches are tender and bubbling but still hold their shape.
  7. Remove from oven and let the peaches rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to thicken slightly.
  8. Serve warm by spooning a dollop of chilled mascarpone on top of each peach half.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture. Keep mascarpone cold until serving to maintain texture. Check peaches at 18 minutes to avoid overcooking. For dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and mascarpone with coconut cream. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat peaches gently and add fresh mascarpone before serving.
