Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer snack featuring caramelized grilled stone fruit paired with salty prosciutto and creamy whipped ricotta, perfect for casual gatherings or light desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, nectarines, or plums, halved and pitted
  • 6–8 thin slices prosciutto
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta, well-drained
  • 2 tablespoons honey (wildflower or clover preferred)
  • A handful of fresh basil or mint leaves, roughly chopped (optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the stone fruit. Slice each peach, nectarine, or plum in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, honey, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously by hand or with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Adjust sweetness or seasoning as desired.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
  4. Place fruit halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens. Flip and grill skin side for another 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid mushiness.
  5. Arrange grilled fruit on a serving platter, cut side up. Dollop or pipe whipped ricotta over each piece. Tear prosciutto slices and drape around the fruit. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs on top, finish with black pepper and optional honey drizzle.

Notes

Brush fruit with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking and promote caramelization. If ricotta is too thick, add a teaspoon of cream or milk and whisk again. Do not overcrowd the grill to ensure even cooking. Store grilled fruit and ricotta separately for best freshness.
