Method

Grill the peaches over a medium heat until soft and nicely charred (approx 6-7mins)

In a mixing bowl whisk the Mascarpone with the thyme leaves, vanilla extract , lime zest and honey.

Toast the almonds on a skillet on the grill and roughly chop.

To serve: Slice the grilled peaches into segments and pile on top of the Mascarpone

Sprinkle the almonds over the peaches and grate over the white chocolate, crumble the biscuits on top.

Cook's notes

Grill the peaches cut side down first so the flesh catches those bar marks and caramelises before you turn them.
Ripe but firm is the sweet spot — under-ripe peaches stay sour and won't soften, while overripe ones collapse into the grates.
Whisk the mascarpone gently and only until it holds; overworking it can make it grainy and split.
Keep the whipped mascarpone in the fridge until the very last second so the contrast of warm fruit against cold cream really lands.
Toast the almonds until you can smell them, then chop — they go from golden to bitter and burnt quickly on a hot skillet.

Serve with It's rich enough to stand alone, but a small glass of dessert wine or a strong espresso alongside cuts through the mascarpone nicely. A drizzle of extra honey and a few torn mint leaves are all it needs.

Make ahead & storage Best assembled and eaten straight away while the peaches are warm. You can whip the mascarpone cream a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the fridge, then grill the fruit fresh when you're ready to serve.
