These Grilled Peaches with Ricotta and Honey are one of the simplest ways to enjoy ripe summer peaches. A few minutes on the grill brings out their natural sweetness and adds a hint of smoky flavor. Top them with creamy requesón or ricotta, a drizzle of honey, sliced almonds, and fresh mint for an easy summer dessert, breakfast, or snack.
Why This Is Muy Bueno
As simple as this recipe is, the first bite immediately takes me back to my grandma’s kitchen table. Growing up, I loved eating flour tortillas slathered with requesón and drizzled with miel virgen, or honey.
That same creamy-sweet combination is what inspired these grilled peaches. The heat of the grill softens and caramelizes the fruit, while the cool ricotta and honey make every bite feel a little indulgent without needing much fuss.
There’s another sweet memory tied to this recipe, too. When we first shared it on Muy Bueno in 2012, Maya was only 10 years old and helped decorate the peaches for the photos, carefully drizzling the honey to make them look fancy.
How To Grill Peaches
Select firm and ripe peaches (but not too ripe). The goal is for the peach to be sturdy enough to stand up to the grilling process. The truth is that grilled peaches are surprisingly simple, heat grill or a grill pan to medium high heat.
How to Serve and Eat Grilled Peaches
These grilled peaches are topped with ricotta cheese, a drizzle of honey, and sprinkled with almonds and fresh mint. Don’t like ricotta cheese? Try these grilled peaches topped with ice cream, whipped cream, yogurt, or nothing at all.

I’m just getting into grilling fruit! This combo is fantastically delicious. Yums.
I’ll bring the bottle if you bring the food 😉 A tasty delight assured!
This looks delicious as do many of your recipes. I’m a fan! I bet this recipe would pair nicely with a Loire Chenin blanc.
Oh I bet it would Pamela! Yummy! Now I need to buy me a bottle and test it out, just to be sure 😉
They look so good. Good job Maya on the decorating.
Simple, beautiful, and sounds delicious. What more could you ask for? Love the fork and knife…
My daughter is ten years old and knows how to make them herself. Her favorite part is drizzling the honey to make a fancy design. She decorated the photo above 😉
