Ingredients
- 1 package (15 count) Athens® Phyllo Shells
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup confectioners sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1 large peach, peeled and cut into quarters†
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- Candied pecans or hazelnuts for garnish
Directions
In a medium mixing bowl combine mascarpone and cream cheeses with confectioners sugar and salt. Using an electric mixer beat for 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl gently toss the peaches with the syrup and melted butter. Prepare grill. Lift the peaches from the butter mixture, letting the excess butter fall back into the bowl. Grill the peaches over direct low heat, with the lid closed. Cook until they are slightly soft, approximately 4 minutes, turning over once while they are cooking. It is important to keep the heat low so the syrup does not burn. When cool, cut into small pieces.
Pipe or spoon a heaping tablespoon of cheese mixture into each phyllo shell. Top each with ¼- ½ teaspoon of diced peaches (including some of the juice). Garnish with candied pecans or hazelnuts. Serve immediately.
