Smoky apricots topped with creamy mascarpone, sweet honey, and crunchy pecans make the perfect seasonal dessert.
Ingredients
5 apricots, halved lengthwise, stone removed
4 ounces mascarpone
1 teaspoon orange blossom water
¼ cup candied pecans, chopped
Instructions
Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place apricot halves cut side down on the grill and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly softened and char marks appear. Remove and set aside on a serving platter.
In a small bowl stir together mascarpone and orange blossom water.
Top each apricot half with a dollop of mascarpone, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of candied pecans. Garnish with mint leaves.
It wasn’t inevitable, but it sure is a good fit.
