Grilled Peaches with Amaretto & Mascarpone Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 4 strips of lemon zest
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ¼ cup amaretto liqueur
• 1 vanilla bean, split
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup water
• 4 medium peaches, halved and pitted
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
• ½ cup mascarpone
• 2 tbsps amaretto liqueur
• 2 ounces amaretti cookies, crushed

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make whipped mascarpone, in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add heavy cream and confectioners' sugar and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Fold in the mascarpone and amaretto liqueur and beat until well combined. Transfer the whipped mascarpone cream to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. To make the syrup, place sugar, vanilla bean, lemon strips, juice, amaretto, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn heat to medium and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the sugar is dissolved. Remove pan from heat and let it cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
3. Put peaches in a large baking dish and pour syrup over them. Let peaches soak in syrup for 1 hour, turning them halfway through.
4. Heat Premier Nonstick Grill Pan to medium-high. Brush grill pan with canola oil.
5. Reduce heat to medium. Remove peaches from syrup, reserving syrup for serving.
6. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook undisturbed until grill marks appear, 4 to 5 minutes.
7. Flip the peaches and grill until the skins are charred and the peaches are soft, 4 to 5 minutes more.
8. Remove peaches from the grill pan. Serve grilled peaches with whipped mascarpone and amaretti cookies.
