Ingredients

  • 200g mascarpone
  • 2tsp vanilla paste
  • 4 large ripe but firm peaches, halved, stones removed
  • 2tbsp melted butter
  • 8 amaretti biscuits, crushed

Method

Put the mascarpone and vanilla paste into a bowl and mix until smooth, then chill.

Place a griddle pan over a high heat. Meanwhile, brush the cut side of the peaches with the melted butter. When the pan is hot, place the peaches on it, cut-side down, and griddle for 3 minutes. They are ready when the flesh is golden brown and chargrilled lines have formed.

Transfer the peaches to a serving plate. Place a spoonful of the chillled cream in the middle of each half. Sprinkle with the amaretti and serve straight away.
