Notes from Debbie…

Grilled Peaches With Cinnamon Ricotta Crème a deliciously healthy way to lighten up dessert and celebrate summer nights. For best results use Freestone Peaches that have a strong peach aroma and give a little when squeezed by hand. 

Grilled peaches can be served with cinnamon ricotta crème or they can be served plain with vanilla ice cream, and paired with a cold glass of dessert wine or port. Try them at your next barbecue!

 Useful Equipment:

  • gas or charcoal grill

  • sharp knife

  • basting brush

  • tongs


Ingredients

  • 6 peaches preferably freestone

  • Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing peaches

  • 1 cup cinnamon ricotta crème recipe to follow

  • ¼ cup chopped pecans

  • honey to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Cinnamon Ricotta Crème:

  1. If using fresh homemade ricotta, mix the cinnamon ricotta crème before refrigerating. If using store-bought ricotta, take out of the refrigerator about 30-minutes prior to allow it soften up a little.

  2. Add all of the cinnamon ricotta crème ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Whisk together. The crème may be a little too thin for serving right away, so refrigerate it while grilling the peaches to allow the crème to firm up.

 

Prepare the Peaches

  • Using a sharp paring knife, run it down the seam of the peach. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits.

  • Brush the cut side of the peaches with oil.
