A very simple dessert, but only suitable for adults due to the use of white wine and cognac. Grilling the peaches slightly caramelizes them, bringing out their flavor even more. Creamy mascarpone cheese adds a soft texture and cuts through the sweetness.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

3 firm but ripe peaches, pitted and quartered
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 tbsp. cognac
1 tbsp lemon juice

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a barbecue grill. Lightly oil the pan or grill grate.

Place the peaches in the pan and don't move them, otherwise you won't get good grill marks. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side. Grill the peaches until they soften slightly and are heated through, about 5-6 minutes total.
At the same time, in a medium bowl, mix sugar, cognac and lemon juice until smooth.

When the peaches are done, transfer them to a shallow baking dish. Pour the cognac mixture over them and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mascarpone and vanilla extract.

Divide the peaches evenly among 6 wide glasses or ramekins. Pour the wine over them. Spoon the mascarpone mixture over the tops of the peaches and serve.
