Peaches Stuffed With Amaretti
"Turn peaches into a really special dessert with this simple recipe. Serve warm with a generous helping of mascarpone.
Grate a little of the zest from the oranges and stir into a 9oz tub mascarpone to serve with the peaches. Nectarines can be used instead of peaches if you prefer."

ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches
- 2 ounces butter, softened
- 2 ounces superfine sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 3⁄4 ounces amaretti cookies
- 2 oranges, juice
- 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur (optional)
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Butter a shallow, ovenproof dish that is large enough to take the halved peaches in one layer. Halve and stone the peaches and set in the dish, cut side up.
- Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg yolk. Crumble the cookies between your fingers into the bowl, then stir well.
- Spoon a little amaretti mixture into the cavity of each peach half. Pour the orange juice and the liqueur, if using, around the peaches. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the peaches are tender. Cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve at room temperature or warm with some mascarpone.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
