Amaretti Peaches with Chocolate & Honey

METHOD:

1. Preheat the oven to 180oC on Circulaire

2. Halve and stone the peaches, then dig out a little flesh from the centre of each half, using a sharp-edged soup spoon. Put flesh and peaches to one side

3. Tip the amaretti, almonds and chocolate into a food processor and pulse until the mixture is like coarse gravel

4. Add the spooned-out peach flesh, egg and honey and whizz for just a second or two to combine – don't over-process

5. Spoon the stuffing into the peach halves, mounding it up a little. Arrange the peaches in a single layer in a heavy baking tin, then bake for 25-30 minutes or until the flesh is tender and the stuffing nicely browned

6. Serve hot, with a dollop of mascarpone or crème fraiche and a dusting of sifted cocoa powder
