You may start grilling all of your desserts after one bite of these quick and easy Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone, Pistachios and Balsamic Glaze!

Looking for a simple and relatively healthy dessert to serve to a crowd – without turning on the oven? Pin these Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone, Pistachios and Balsamic Glaze ASAP. Trust me, the name sounds far more complicated than this recipe truly is, and the finished dish can be on the table in 10 minutes flat.

When you buy ripe peaches, most of the work is already done for you. A brief turn on the grill amps up the natural sweetness and juiciness of the peaches. Drizzle a rich and tangy balsamic vinegar glaze over the warm fruit, spoon a bit of sweetened mascarpone cheese on top of each half and garnish it all with a sprinkling of salty pistachios. That’s all there is to it.

These Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone, Pistachios and Balsamic Glaze are a super easy dessert that showcases the flavors of the dish’s simple ingredients in each bite….and begs for extra napkins to mop up all of that juicy peach goodness.

Tip: Don’t have a grill? No worries. Use a grill pan on your stovetop instead!

Note: You can reduce your own balsamic vinegar on the stovetop until it is syrupy or take a shortcut and buy balsamic glaze that is already reduced for you. I like to keep a bottle in the fridge all the time. Makes great caprese salads, too!
