Printer-friendly versionItalians prefer light desserts of fruit after family meals. Ripe peaches with a simple topping of egg yolk and crushed Amaretti make a simple, low-calorie dessert.
Ingredients
6 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
1/3 cup sugar
8 macaroons, crushed
1 egg yolk, beaten with whisk
4 tablespoons Delitia Parmigiano-Reggiano butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Puree 2 of the peaches (4 halves) in food processor. Scrape into a bowl and add sugar, egg yolk, and crushed macaroons. Place remaining 8 peach halves in a buttered shallow, ovenproof dish or pan. Spread the peach puree-macaroon mixture over the peach halves. Drizzle butter over the peaches. Bake for 30 minutes until peaches are baked through and filling is golden.
