Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup mascarpone, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
- 5 ripe peaches or any other stone fruit, halved and pitted
- 3 tablespoons clover honey
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone, cinnamon and vanilla until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Slice a little bit of the flesh from the bottom of each peach half so they sit evenly in the baking dish. Scoop a tiny bit from the center, so the pit space is a little larger. Put the peaches in the dish, cut-side up.
- Whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, honey and black pepper in a small bowl and pour it evenly over the peaches. Roast the peaches until lightly golden brown and just soft, about 25 minutes.
- Remove to a platter and top each half with a dollop of the cinnamon mascarpone.
