Ingredients

  • 4 peaches
  • 75 g sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 80 g amaretti
  • 60 g cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp butter
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Place the amaretti in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
  • Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Lightly carve the inside of the peaches to remove a little pulp, leaving edges that are all the same thickness (about a half cm). Place the peaches in an oven dish.
  • Combine the carved peach pulp with the sugar, egg yolks and cocoa and mix with a fork to create a homogeneous paste.
  • Add the crushed amaretti to the mixture and stir in.
  • Divide amaretti mixture between halved peaches.
  • Add a thin slice of butter over the top of each stuffed peach.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15 minutes, or until the peaches feel soft and cooked through.

Notes

Serve either hot or cold. Amaretti stuffed peaches taste best lightly warm. They microwave well.
