Amaretti grilled peaches
Suggested material offered in store
Ingredients
6-8 very ripe peaches pitted and halved
100 g amarettis biscuits, crushed
6 tablespoons chopped almonds, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
50 g butter, melted
¼ cup sweet white wine, preferably Moscato
Mint leaves, chopped
Vanilla ice cream
Preparation
For each peach cut in two, increase the size of the cavity left by the kernel by removing a tablespoon of flesh. Keep the meat.
Chop the flesh of peach and mix in a bowl with cookies amarettis, almonds, 2 tablespoons sugar and cocoa powder.
Add the wine and stir until the texture of the mixture is thick and uniform.
Brush the peaches with butter on both sides and arrange on a plate, the cavities up.
Fill each cavity with 2 tbsp. garnish with almonds.
Sprinkle peaches evenly with remaining sugar.
Heat the grill of the barbecue to medium-low.
Arrange the peaches on the grill and cook over low heat, about 20 minutes. (Check the oven frequently to avoid burning peaches.)
Carefully remove peaches from the grill, as they will be soft and very warm.
Serve with chopped mint leaves and vanilla ice cream.
Yield
6 servings.
