Oven-Roasted Amaretto Peaches

A simple yet elegant Italian-inspired dessert featuring juicy peaches roasted with amaretto, brown sugar and vanilla until beautifully caramelised. Delicious served on its own, with mascarpone, or as a twist on a classic summer tiramisu.

Ingredient

4 ripe peaches, cut into wedges
3 tbsp amaretto liqueur
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

To finish (optional):

Mascarpone cream
Crushed amaretti biscuits
Fresh mint leaves

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Place the peach wedges in a roasting dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
Drizzle over the amaretto and vanilla extract, then sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
Roast for 15 minutes, until the peaches are tender and lightly caramelised, and the roasting juices have become syrupy.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Spoon over mascarpone cream, scatter with crushed amaretti biscuits and garnish with fresh mint, if desired.
