Roasted Peach ‘alla piemontese’ with Dark Chocolate and Amaretti

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2

Cut peaches in half, remove seeds and scoop 2/3 of the inside out. Roughly chop the peach’s trimmings, add chocolate and amaretti biscuit, Amaretto liquor and mix well. Fill all the peaches with the mixture.

3

Cook peaches in the oven for 20-30 minutes, till soft and golden in colour.

4

Meanwhile, add icing sugar and vanilla beans to the cream and whip till firm. Transfer into a piping bag and keep in the fridge until ready.

5

Place the chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Bring the heavy cream to a boil, remove from the heat and pour onto the chocolate to make a chocolate sauce. Stir until all the chocolate is melted.

6

Once the peaches are cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Garnish the top of each peach with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, Amaretti biscuits, icing sugar and mint.
