Valentines is right around the corner and if you’re like me, you want at little sweet to enjoy with your Sweet without the guilt or feeling like trash. These grilled peaches with bourbon sauce & mascarpone cheese will definitely hit the spot. They’re tasty even without the cheese if you’re dairy free. 🙂 Enjoy!
Total time: 25 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp. mascarpone cheese
- ¼ tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (preferably Grade B)
- 1 whole medium orange, orange peel finely grated (orange zest), juice reserved 2 tsp.
- Your favorite Bourbon
- 2 medium peaches
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Beat together mascarpone and extract in a small bowl; refrigerate, covered.
- FOR MAPLE BOURBON SAUCE: combine maple syrup, orange peel, orange juice, and bourbon in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a gentle boil; cook, stirring constantly (being careful not to burn it), for approximately 5 minutes, or until sauce is reduced by half. Remove from heat. Set aside.
- Coat grill with spray. Preheat grill (or cast iron grill pan) on high.
- Cut peaches in half; remove stones.
- Grill peaches, flesh side down, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until you can see juices bubbling beneath the skin, flesh is slightly charred, and peaches are soft to their core. Place peaches on a serving platter.
- Fill each peach center with about 2 heaping teaspoons of mascarpone mixture; drizzle with maple sauce.
Enjoy!
Note: If you don’t have a grill, simply arrange peaches flesh side up on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for 10 to 12 minutes. However, be sure to watch closely so they don’t burn!
