Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ripe peaches
- 100 grams Amaretti cookies
- 50 grams Dark chocolate
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Wash and dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pits.
Using a small spoon or melon baller, carefully scoop out some flesh from the center of each peach half to create a cavity for the filling. Do not discard the scooped-out flesh; finely chop it and set it aside.
Place the amaretti cookies in a resealable bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed amaretti cookies, chopped peach flesh, melted chocolate-butter mixture, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until thoroughly combined and you achieve a thick, cohesive filling.
Spoon the filling into the cavities of the peach halves, pressing gently to pack them well.
Place the stuffed peach halves in a baking dish, flesh side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the filling is slightly crisp on top.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the peaches cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate. Enjoy!
