Vanilla Roasted Peaches with Mascarpone and Raspberries…It’s What’s for Dessert.
roasted peaches are one of my weakness…i dollop them on everything!! LOL!!
I’m beginning to think the same way Vianney.
I’m not much of a dessert person but you’ve totally got me hooked on this one!
I’m not a dessert person at all, but do love fruit type desserts. And especially strawberry shortcake with whipped cream.
Alexis loves anything with mascarpone but this would really float her boat!
Mascarpone is pretty darn special. However, I tried a slather of it on a bagel the other morning and thought it was awful. Definitely has it’s place on certain dishes and flavors.
Wow. Just wow. Picture is tantalizing!
Thanks Dan
amaZING! This looks like a flavor explosion and the picture is fabulous. I am so impressed but sad that we don’t have Western Slope Peaches.
We all go through a peach frenzy every year in August. Ohmy they are good.
Gorgeous…I just picked up some white peaches this morning…yum!
I’ve never tried white peaches Cathy. Next time I see them in the market, I’ll have to pick a couple up.
I love this combination of flavors Lea Ann…and well I’m impressed…you know you and a DESSERT!
I am a grillaholic though…so I grill some the cakes and grill some peaches and add those together with raspberries and whipped cream. I’ll bet these are fabulous though with that syrup. I just got peaches. I HAVE to try this.
LOL Barb…. oh you just wait, I’ve actually baked cookies. :::gasp
Oh, yum! When I get my hands on some good peaches, these are going on the grill!
I have grilled them also for this dish. You just don’t get the syrup.
Colorado peaches are the best. What beautiful colors.
I agree about those Colorado peaches.
That’s a great dessert. I also ate grilled Colorado peaches for dessert today. Did you ever try to actually grill them on the barbeque?
I have grilled them Kirsten. They are fabulous.
