Grilled Peaches & Cream
This time of year peaches are everywhere! And, as a good Georgia girl I felt it necessary to throw in a peach recipe. I always try to take advantage of the fruits & veggies that are in season & before these peaches start to fade away until next summer, I thought I’d share my favorite way to enjoy them! Grilled!
They’re incredibly luscious & juicy when you throw them on a grill (or grill pan, as in my case). You’re welcome to do these on your grill – I just like the ease & convenience of my grill pan. Plus, I seem to be able to control my grill marks a little better inside. *wink wink*
You’re going to be licking your fingers over this dish and if you’ve not experienced Cardamom you’re in for a treat! I KNOW it’s a little pricey for a little jar of spice, but it’s SO worth it & you really only use a pinch or so (it’s powerful stuff!). And no worries, I’m sure to have some more recipes including this little exotic beauty soon!
Tips: Don’t forget to take out your cream cheese to let it come to room temperature (it’s quite a hassle to cream it if not. Trust me, you’ll get a lumpy bumpy cream mixture & who wants that?) Remember when adding your heavy whipping cream & honey to start off slow, taste it & adjust. You’ll know when it’s to the right consistency & sweetness for your taste buds!
On top of being dee-lish, this is simply gawgeous on the plate! Your guests will be singing your culinary praises & you’ll be saying, “Why, thank you, but it really wasn’t any trouble at all.” They don’t have to know how easy peasy it was!
Have you ever had Cardamom? I’m hooked & can’t wait to put the rest of my jar to good use!
What you’ll need:
4-6 peaches, halved with pit removed
2 tbsp Honey
1 brick of cream cheese – room temperature
1/4 – 1/2 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream
Cardamom – couple of dashes
extra virgin olive oil to drizzle
What to do:
Spray a grill pan with cooking spray & place over medium heat. Drizzle a little olive oil over your peaches. Place the peaches flesh side down onto your grill pan. Cook just a few minutes until the peaches have nice grill marks & have started to release their juices. While your peaches are cooling, in a mixer, add your cream cheese and mix with your paddle attachment until nice & creamy. Add a little heavy whipping cream until it’s to the consistency of yogurt (about 1/4 cup). Add in your honey & mix well. Taste & if it’s not sweet enough for your taste buds add a little more honey. Sprinkle in a dash of Cardamom (taste & then add more if necessary) To assemble: place a nice dollop into the well of the peach. drizzle with a little honey and a small sprinkle of Cardamom to finish it off!
Buon Appetito!
YUMMMM that looks great!!!
Thanks Karen! It’s a great flavor combination & so easy peasy!
It doesn’t get any simpler than this. Looks fab!!
Thanks Jenn, they are so juicy & delicious. I’ve made these several times already this summer!
Love grilled peaches, and can’t wait to use cardamom on mine. Last yr, I made some (also in the grill pan), put them in a bowl w/ vanilla ice cream and dulce de leche on top.
Hi Ellise! Oooh topped with dulce de leche sounds scrumptious!
I was just thinking of grilling some peaches yesterday. I was contemplating a sweetened mascarpone topping… not unlike the topping you made for yours! Looks delicious, and the pictures are beautiful!
Thanks Jen! I LOVE Mascarpone & it would be perfetto with this, I just didn’t have any hand (boo hoo)
Great and easy recipe. I’ll add to my to do list
I’ll try it. This year i also tried, with success, a Peach Sorbet with white wine
@rossella76
Grazie mille Rossella! E’ anche favoloso con un po di Mascarpone (naturalmente LOL)
I never thought to grill peaches before, it looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks Adina! You’re going to love them! Grilling them just intensifies their already sweet & juicyness! So tasty!
Oh Paula – this is sooooo drool worthy! Yum!
I love grilled fruit and the cardamon sounds like it would be delicious.
Wow, nice peaches. I will try to grill them.
Looks FABULOUS!!! I’m going to have to find a grill pan!
hello! I just did a peaches and cream cheese whipped cream dish last week as well. My peaches were roasted and I put it with a homemade sesame cookie. If I had a grill (or plate) I might have tried it that way too! Check out my dish if you have a moment: http://laptopsandstovetops.blogspot.com/2009/08/peaches-n-cream-with-sesame-cookies.html
This looks yummy! I also like to grill peaches and serve with a balsamic glaze (can be dessert or just a side to chicken or fish).
