Oh my gosh, it’s Friday!!! You guys have to try these cinnamon grilled peaches with mascarpone ice cream. They are so good and just have summer ALL over them!
Only the very best day of the week, yesssss!!
So hey! Let’s chat about this week. I went to my local farm stand a good four out of five days and basically spent wayy too much money on things like local heirloom tomatoes and peaches. BUT honestly, it totally made my flipping week. The excitement that came over me when I saw the pretty tomatoes and peaches was beyond embarrassing, whatever, I am a pumped!
Also, I made big time friends with the owner of the farm stand and he gave me access to all his “secret” produce that he keeps for the high-end restaurants in Breckenridge. Ahhh, yes please!! I’m talking buckets and buckets of the prettiest ever heirloom tomatoes, and peaches galore. It was pretty much my heaven, and I bought it all. Ok, not ALL of it, but a lot of it. He now has my phone number and promised to call when he gets all the best stuff…. so unbelievably pumped!
Clearly I have BIG plans for this month’s recipes and those plans include lots of tomatoes, peaches, berries, corn, plums, zucchini, and just about every other summer produce, but really, a lot of tomatoes, peaches, corn and berries.
Please tell me you guys are as excited as I am?!
SIDE NOTE: can we talk about my cat, Snape for a second? He has finally mellowed out a bit and really likes to snuggle, but you guys, every single day this week I have walked outside my front door only to find dead mice and birds. Today, there were two… and they were both birds! I felt horrible for them. I mean, why the cute little birds? And also, how did he get them? Don’t birds fly? How the heck does he get the birds? UGH.
Anyway, I have been having a really hard time even wanting to touch him cause I mean, his mouth has touched mice. Eeeewwwww. And then he likes to lay on my desk while I work and all I can think about is what he has been up to all day….killing mice. It’s just not good, I feel like I need to give him a bath every single night…but he’d hate that. Man oh man, the cat struggle is REAL!
Anyway, seeing as I have all these beautiful peaches, I clearly needed to put them to very good use. Enter these Cinnamon Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone Ice Cream and Honey Nut Cheerio Granola.
It’s kind of a mouthful, but man, it is SO good.
It’s also really quick and easy. Obviously if you’re making the mascarpone ice cream you’ll need to make it the night before so it can freeze. BUT it literally takes maybe ten minutes total to prepare and then it’s into your freezer. Really, ice cream just does not get easier….or more delicious. If you have yet to try a vanilla mascarpone ice cream, you should know that it’s a game changer. The mascarpone just makes the ice cream incredibly creamy and really highlights the vanilla flavor.
But um, how about that granola? I’ve had this box of Cheerios in my pantry for far too lang and the combo of crunchy Cheerios, to soft grilled peaches with creamy ice cream on top just sounded so flipping good that I had to make it. Bonus, any of the leftover granola can be saved for snacking or sprinkled over a smoothie or yogurt bowl. It’s soo yummy though, I doubt you’ll have any left. For real.
Okok, but maybe we should talk about the main event here. THE PEACHES.
Cinnamon sugar, grilled to a caramelized perfection and eaten warm. Served with the creamiest mascarpone vanilla ice cream…served with that crunchy granola on top. Really, do I need to explain any more. I actually had to cut the title for this post down and remove the Honey Nut Cheerio Granola part ☹️. All because the SEO won’t allow for more than 10 words. Come on, I’m trying to let my readers know about the all kinds of deliciousness going on here! My long as ever, 12 word, original title, Cinnamon Grilled Peaches with Mascarpone Ice Cream and Honey Nut Cheerio Granola, pretty much said it all.
The ice cream melts over the warm and gooey peaches, and the granola provides a nice sweet crunch. You can even add a little extra sweetness with just a tiny drizzle of honey over the ice cream. While it’s definitely not needed, it’s delish.
OH, and if you prefer, you can also roast the peaches in the oven until caramelized, that’s a great option for those cooler September nights.

Love the Marscapone Ice Cream idea, so decadent!
Thanks so much Andrea!!
Wish I had this recipe when I got my 25 pounds of peaches from the Peach Truck–there’s always next year ( I’m peached out now.)
I have fed stray cats on the deck of my apartment and they brought me little presents like this. I asked about this and was told it has to do with fed cats. They still have the instinct to hunt and they bring the catch to the person who feeds them.
Don’t know how reliable this is.
That actually makes a lot of sense! And yes, next year for sure, LOL! Thanks Nancy!
YUM! That marscapone ice cream sounds incredible..And not much is better than grilled peaches during the summer!
YES! Thats what I am saying! LOL! Thanks so much Molly! I hope you enjoy this. ?
OMG! These looks so Yummy with the capital Y! You just deliver everytime, Tieghan! I will definitely try this but I may have to stick with plain vanilla ice cream because my hubby doesn’t eat cheese (I know!) Although he’ll love the honey nut cheerios! Btw, just voted again…I think I may have to include voting as part of my morning ritual, huh? What do you think? ?
hehe!! Thank you!! You are so sweet to be voting everyday! Hope you are having a great weekend!
Ummm…the cheerios are genius!! And that ice cream looks so easy?!?
PS, saw you make your skillet cookies on Insta Stories yesterday — loved it…they look ahhhhhmazing!!!! xoxo
Thanks so much Rebecca!! So happy you enjoyed the Insta story too! ?
WOW! Each element of this looks AMAZING. I am really looking forward to trying the mascarpone ice cream. This will probably horrify you, but I don’t think I have ever bought mascarpone before in my life. Maybe this will be my mascarpone year.
Also, sounds like it might be time to invest in a cat scrunchie! http://www.birdsbesafe.com/
LOL! Thanks so much Kate! Yes, definitely try it, it’s amazing! And I am sure you will be hooked! LOL!

Do you think I could put the ice cream ingredients into my Cuisinart ice cream maker?
This all looks so divine.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Hey Leslie!! I have never tried that, but I do not see why that would not work. If you do try it please let me know how it goes. Thank you!! 🙂
I will when I return from a trip to the coast.
I am all in on this one Tieghan! I get excited over fresh produce as well so I can totally relate.
Haha its just so great!! Thanks so much Kathy!
The mascarpone ice cream sounds divine! I really like mascarpone cream cake frosting so I am sure that I would love the ice cream as well, and it is such a perfect flavour to serve with peaches 🙂
Thank you so much, Hannah!! I am sure you would like it too since you like mascarpone cream frosting!! ?
