Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fresh peaches
- 150 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 100 ml heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 tbsp crushed pistachios (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Wash and slice the peaches into halves, removing the pits. Set them aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the peach halves cut-side down.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the peaches and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the cut sides are caramelized and golden. Flip the peaches and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the dark chocolate, 1 tablespoon of butter, and heavy cream. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
To assemble, place two peach halves on a dessert plate. Drizzle generously with the chocolate sauce.
Optional: Sprinkle crushed pistachios over the top for added crunch and a pop of color.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
