Chocolate-Amaretti Peaches
Ingredients
1/2 cup crushed amaretti cookies (about 8 cookies)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
Cooking spray
8 teaspoons butter
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, shaved
Preparation
1. Preheat broiler
2. Combine cookie crumbs and sugar in a small bowl.
3. Hollow center of peach halves using a melon baller. Fill each peach half with 1 rounded tablespoon cookie crumb mixture. Arrange peaches in an 11x7-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Place 1 teaspoon butter on top of each filled half. Broil 2 minutes or until butter melts. Sprinkle evenly with chocolate. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
Recipe Tip
Look for amaretti cookies at specialty or gourmet markets - they have a distinct almond-amaretto flavor and crunchy texture that make this dish memorable. In a pinch, you can substitute crumbled almond biscotti..
