CHOCOLATE AMARETTI PEACHES
When fresh peaches (or nectarines) are in season, this is such an easy & truly special dessert to make using them & Amaretti cookies. Per the Joy of Baking website: "Amaretti is the Italian name for macaroons, which means little bitter things. Crisp & crunchy on the outside & soft inside, these sml domed-shaped cookies originated in Venice, Italy. Consisting of almonds or almond paste, sugar & egg whites that can be flavored w/chocolate or liqueurs & two baked cookies can be sandwiched together w/ganache, buttercream or even jam. Often served w/a sweet dessert wine, liqueurs or ice cream. Also ground up & added to desserts to give added texture & flavor." You can buy or make the vanilla or chocolate cookies ... or ... use my recipe for chocolate amaretti cookies posted here on RZ. The recipe source is my "CHOCOLATE" cookbook by Christine McFadden & Christine France.

Steps:

- Arrange the stuffed peaches in a lightly buttered, shallow ovenproof dish which will just hold the peaches comfortably.
- Mix the wine & sugar in a measuring cup & stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour the wine mixture around the peaches.

GRILLED PEACHES WITH AMARETTI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a grill with a single layer of charcoal. When the coals are hot, brush the grill with a little oil to make sure the peaches don't stick. Place the peaches, cut side down, on the grill and cook for a few minutes, until they're slightly charred.
- Place the peaches in an oven-proof dish, sprinkle each half with a little vanilla sugar. Combine the rum and amaretto and drizzle 1/2 of it on the peaches. Bake the peaches for about 10 minutes, until they're very tender. Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold with crumbled amaretti cookies on top or with the cookies on the side. I like to serve them with a dollop of creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream.
- Vanilla Sugar:
- Find a jar tall enough to hold 2 vanilla beans. Fill the bottle with sugar and cover tightly. Store on a pantry shelf. After about 3 months you will have a wonderful ingredient for cooking and baking. Keep adding vanilla beans and sugar to the jar and you will have it for years.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Using a melon baller, clean out the red flesh from the center of each peach. Arrange the peaches cut side up in the prepared dish. In the bowl of a food processor, add the amaretti cookies and pulse until finely crumbled. Divide the amaretti crumbs between the peaches. Fill the center of each peach with the amaretti cookie crumbs. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sugar over each. Dot each peach with 1/2 teaspoon of butter.
- Bake until the peaches are tender and the filling is crisp on top, about 30 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream.
Tips:
- Choose ripe peaches: For the best results, select peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid peaches that are too hard or have bruises.
- Use good-quality honey: The type of honey you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a honey that has a rich, complex flavor. Local honey is often a good choice.
- Don't overcook the peaches: The peaches should be cooked until they are just tender. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Serve the peaches warm or at room temperature: Amaretti peaches are best served warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Amaretti peaches are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for summer. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both elegant and satisfying. Whether you are serving them to guests or enjoying them yourself, amaretti peaches are sure to be a hit.
