Mascarpone And Peaches Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, build an even layer of hot coals on the bottom and remove the ring if it has one so the coals are exposed.
• Prepare the foil packets: Lay out a double layer of large heavy-duty aluminum foil pieces in an X formation, totaling 2 packets. Distribute the peaches, cut side down, 2 tablespoons of the honey and the butter evenly between the packets. Bring up all 4 sides of the foil, but don't seal. Grate the lemon zest evenly between each packet. Squeeze the lemon juice evenly between each packet or add 2 tablespoons of white wine to each packet. Tightly seal the foil. Place the packets directly onto the coals and cook until the peaches are tender and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, vigorously whisk the mascarpone, heavy cream, remaining 2 tablespoons honey, vanilla extract, orange zest and orange juice in a large bowl until lightened and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the foil packets from the grill, carefully open and allow some steam to escape. Spoon some peaches along with some of their juices into a serving bowl. Dollop the citrus mascarpone over the top. Garnish with crushed almonds and shortbread cookies. Serve!
• (Alternatively, you can bake the foil packets in a 350 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.)

Steps:

• Halve the vanilla bean lengthwise with a sharp paring knife. Set one half aside and put the other half in a large pot. Add the rosé, 3/4 cup of the honey, peppercorns, fennel seeds and 1 cup water. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest of the oranges and lemons and add the zest to the pot. Squeeze in the juice of 1 orange. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the honey. Reduce the temperature to low and add the peaches (the liquid should be still and there should be no simmering bubbles). Cook, flipping the peaches halfway through, until they are softened and the skins start to pull away, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the mascarpone in a large bowl and whisk until loosened. Scrape in the seeds from the remaining vanilla bean half and add the scraped vanilla bean pod to the poaching liquid. To the mascarpone, add the remaining 1/4 cup honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the heavy cream and whisk until medium stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Add the pistachios, light brown sugar and cayenne pepper to a small skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved, syrupy and evenly coats the pistachios, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a parchment-lined plate and let cool completely, about 5 minutes (the coating will be sticky but will harden as the nuts cool).
• Divide the whipped mascarpone among 8 serving bowls. Use a slotted spoon to remove the peaches and add one half to each bowl. Evenly sprinkle the pistachios over the top.

Steps:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Lightly brush the grill pan or rack with oil. Place the peaches on the grill pan and do not move the peaches, otherwise you will not have those great grill marks. It takes about 2 to 3 minutes per side to get those grill marks. Grill the peaches until the grill marks are formed, slightly softened and heated through, about 5 to 6 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, stir the sugar, brandy, and lemon juice in a medium bowl to blend. Set the brandy mixture aside.
• As the peaches are ready, remove them from the grill and place them in a shallow baking dish. Top them with the brandy mixture, and toss to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes and allow to marinate, tossing occasionally.
• Meanwhile, stir the mascarpone and vanilla in a small bowl to blend.
• Divide the grilled peach mixture equally among 6 coupe dishes. Pour the wine over the peaches. Dollop the mascarpone mixture atop the peaches, and serve.

Steps:

• For crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Blend graham cracker pieces, sugar, and butter in processor until moist clumps form. Press onto bottom (not sides) of 9-inch-diameter springform pan. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer crust to rack to cool. Maintain oven temperature.
• For filling:
• Using electric mixer, beat mascarpone, sugar, and flour in large bowl until blended. Beat in eggs 1 at a time; add vanilla extract. Puree diced peaches in mini processor or blender until smooth. Beat peach puree into batter. Pour filling into crust. Bake until edges are raised and dry and center is softly set, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Place hot cheesecake directly in refrigerator. Chill uncovered overnight.
• Boil balsamic vinegar in small saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 4 minutes; cool syrup. Cut around cheesecake; remove pan sides. Top with peach slices, drizzle with balsamic vinegar syrup, and serve.

Steps:

• Halve and pit 6 ripe peaches.
• Stir together the mascarpone and heavy cream.
• Fill the cavity of each peach half with mixture.
• Crush 3 pair of Amaretti cookies and add 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
• Sprinkle Amaretti mixture over the peaches.

Steps:

• Peel peaches, remove pits, and slice into a heavy saucepan, catching all the juices. Stir in sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and cook over medium heat until bubbly. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, cut off and discard the ends of the bolillo rolls. Slice the rolls into 1 1/4-inch-thick slices. Lay each slice of bread on a board, and with a sharp knife held parallel to the board, cut a pocket into each slice, leaving three sides intact. Set aside.
• Stir together the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, and lemon zest until smooth. Scoop this mixture into a small plastic bag. Cut off one corner of the bag, and pipe as much filling into the pocket in each slice of bread as will fit without overflowing.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla in a shallow bowl. Melt butter with oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Dip each stuffed piece of bread into the batter, add to the skillet, and cook until browned on both sides. Serve hot with the warm peach sauce.
