Chocolate Peach Amaretti


Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: three minutes

Total Time: 18 minutes

Ingredients:

four ounces (115 g) amaretti biscuits (amaretto cookies), crushed
two ounces (50 g) plain chocolate, chopped
Grated rind of 1/2 orange
one Tablespoon (15 ml) clear honey
1/4 teaspoon (one.5 ml) ground cinnamon
one egg white, lightly whisked
four firm ripe peaches
five Tablespoons (75 ml) white wine
one Tablespoons (15 ml) caster (granulated) sugar

Preparation:

Mix together the amaretti biscuits, chocolate, orange rind, honey, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in the egg white to bind the mixture.

Arrange the stuffed peaches in a lightly buttered, shallow microwaveproof dish which will hold them. Pour the wine in to a cup and stir in the sugar.

Halve and stone the peaches and fill the cavities with the chocolate mixture, mounding it up slightly.

Pour the sweetened wine around the peaches. Cover loosely and microwave on High for 2-3 minutes, until the peaches are tender. Serve directly with a small of the cooking juices spooned over and the whipped cream.

Yield: four servings
