Amaretti Biscuits & Italian Baked Stuffed Peaches

[CreamPuff63]

Serves 4 - 6:

Biscuit Ingredients:
340g ground almonds - 6 secs, Speed 6
340g caster sugar, raw sugar – 3 secs, Speed 10
4 egg whites
30ml amaretto liquor
Butter, for greasing


Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
In TM bowl beat the egg whites until firm – 37 degrees, Speed 3.5, 4.5 minutes
Mix the sugar and almonds gently into egg whites. (Did this by hand – but could do it TM maybe with the Butterfly?)
Add the amaretto liquor and fold in gently until you have a smooth paste.
Place some greaseproof paper on a baking sheet lightly brushed with butter.
Using a teaspoon place small heaps of the mixture approx 2cm apart, as they will expand whilst cooking.
Bake in oven approx 15 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: Use the yolks to make a custard for the following recipe.

Dessert Ingredients:

4 large ripe but firm peaches
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg yolk
30g butter
90g crushed amaretti biscuits
¼ cup white wine or water


Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Halve the peaches and remove the stones – there is no need to skin them.
Put amaretti biscuits into TM bowl for 4 secs, Speed 4 until evenly crushed but not too finely
Scoop out a little pulp from each peach half, chop finely and add to the TM bowl with the sugar, egg yolk, butter cut into small pieces and amaretti crumbs in a bowl. Use to stuff each peach half.

Arrange the peaches in a buttered shallow ovenproof dish. Add the white wine or water, making sure the base of the dish is covered. Bake for about 30 minutes or until tender.

Serve hot with cream or custard.

Thanks CP63 - haven't made these in ages - used to be an entertaining recipe - I used to push the peeled halves back together and then when they cut thru the amaretti centre was exposed - most thought it was the pip disintegrating.

Made this tonight as peaches are in season. Didn't bother with making the biscuits because I can now buy them in Woolworths. Easy, peasy now and seriously good with some custard to drizzle over. (I know this is my own conversion  , but its a nice way to finish a good meal at the moment  )
