These grilled peaches are such an easy, and delicious summer dessert. The warm sweet, and tart peaches, paired with the creamy maple ricotta is summer perfection.

My daughter adores all things peaches and peach season happens to coincide with grilling season. So since I I grill any chance I can get, it was an obvious choice to throw some peaches onto the grill and top them with some easy tofu ricotta.

We decided to give the peaches a drizzle of maple and top them with some sliced almonds for a nice crunchy contrast and truly they are just there perfect healthy, easy, summer time dessert!

If you can’t find any peaches I am certain this would also be just as tasty with a nectarine.

So, the next time you are grilling up dinner, toss on a few peaches, whip up some quick tofu ricotta, and dessert is done in minutes.

INGREDIENTS:

4 - 6 peaches
1 package firm tofu
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
More maple for drizzling

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Prepare peaches by rinsing with skin on. Cut peaches in half and remove pit.
In a blender, or food processor, add drained tofu with juice from 1 lemon, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Process until completely smooth.
Spray grates of grill with cooking oil, and heat.
Spray or brush the cut side of the peaches with a little oil, and place face side down on the heated grill.
Grill peaches for about 10 minutes, or until nice grill marks have formed.
Flip peaches, and grill the other side for about 5 minutes.
