Instructions
To prepare these delicious baked stuffed peaches, begin by washing and drying the peaches thoroughly. Cut each peach in half and carefully remove the pit using a small knife. Gently scoop out a bit of the flesh around the pit’s cavity, making room for the filling. Set the peaches aside.
Next, focus on the filling: Take the flesh removed from the peaches and chop it into small pieces. Place the chopped peach flesh into a bowl and set it aside. In a separate bowl, crumble the amaretti biscuits roughly – if you prefer a finer texture, you can use a food processor to grind them into smaller crumbs.
Add the chopped peach flesh to the crumbled amaretti biscuits and mix everything together until well combined. The combination of peach sweetness and the crisp, almond flavor of the amaretti will create a delightful filling that will make each bite of peach irresistible.
Once your filling is ready, carefully stuff each peach half with the mixture, ensuring they are well-packed but not overflowing. The stuffed peaches should look generously filled, but not too compacted.
Break the dark chocolate into small chunks and scatter them over the stuffed peaches. The chocolate will melt beautifully during baking, infusing the fruit with its rich flavor.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for a static oven, or 160°C (320°F) for a fan-assisted oven. Place the stuffed peaches on a baking tray and transfer them to the oven. Bake for about 60 minutes in a static oven or 50 minutes in a fan-assisted oven, until the peaches are tender and the filling is golden.
Once baked, remove the stuffed peaches from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These baked stuffed peaches are perfect as a comforting dessert to end any meal, with their sweet and fruity filling, and the added decadence of melted chocolate. Enjoy!
This recipe is a perfect way to indulge in the natural sweetness of peaches while adding the rich, complex flavors of dark chocolate and amaretti biscuits. It’s an ideal dessert for a cozy evening or a special gathering.
