Recipe Reviews

Lovely way to serve peaches when they're at their peak….it’s like a sweet, juicy fruit crisp for a fraction of the effort.

Halved fresh peaches are topped with crushed, almond-flavoured amaretti cookies – easy to crush without hauling out heavy machinery - a sprinkling of sugar and a tiny dot of butter. I baked them outside on the grill in a foil-covered pan, which worked out very well. Don’t forget to butter the pan so the peaches and the caramel that forms don’t stick (can you tell I missed this step?)!

I used beautiful local peaches which were a little smaller than what the author recommended so they baked in less time. I served 1 peach/person, instead of a half, with a dollop of mascarpone but the whipped cream the author suggests, ice cream or crème frâiche would work well also.

Edit: This dessert needs to be served shortly after baking (while still warm) as the amaretti crumbs absorb the peach juices and get soft in time.
