• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 cup Albanian-style yogurt
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Arteflame grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the oiled napkins in the grill and stack firewood on top.

Step 2: Prepare the ingredients

1. Halve and pit the peaches.
2. Melt the butter and mix it with the honey.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the Albanian-style yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Step 3: Grill the peaches

1. Brush the peach halves with the butter-honey mixture.
2. Place them cut side down on the flat griddle cooktop near the center for a more intense caramelization.
3. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, until the peaches develop rich grill marks and are softened.
4. Flip the peaches and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 4: Serve

1. Plate the peaches cut side up.
2. Spoon the sweetened yogurt over each peach half.
3. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Tips

• Use ripe but firm peaches for the best grilling results.
• Brush the peaches with butter instead of oil for richer caramelization.
• Grill at the hotter zone near the center of the cooktop for perfect searing.
• Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or powdered sugar to the yogurt.

Variations

1. Maple Walnut: Substitute honey with maple syrup and pistachios with walnuts.
2. Balsamic Glazed: Drizzle peaches with a balsamic glaze before grilling for a tangy twist.
3. Spiced Almond: Add a pinch of nutmeg and clove to the yogurt and use toasted almonds instead of pistachios.
4. Chocolate Hazelnut: Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the peaches and top with chopped hazelnuts.
5. Berry Delight: Serve with fresh mixed berries and a touch of lemon zest.
