Photo: Peaches Stuffed with Amaretti Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces amaretti cookies (about 12 small cookies)
- 3 ripe, firm peaches (about 5 ounces each), halved and pitted
- 3 teaspoons sugar (1/2 teaspoon per peach half)
- 3 teaspoons unsalted butter (1/2 teaspoon per peach half)
- 2 cups fresh whipped cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
Using a melon baller, clean out the red flesh from the center of each peach. Arrange the peaches cut side up in the prepared dish. In the bowl of a food processor, add the amaretti cookies and pulse until finely crumbled. Divide the amaretti crumbs between the peaches. Fill the center of each peach with the amaretti cookie crumbs. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sugar over each. Dot each peach with 1/2 teaspoon of butter.
Bake until the peaches are tender and the filling is crisp on top, about 30 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream.

I thought these were really good for a light dessert. I think some ice cream would have definitly made a difference too. My brother thought I should have used a cinnamon flavored cookie for the stuffing but I thought the amaretti was good.

While it wasn't great, it wasn't awful. I used Nilla wafers and ended up LOVING the cookie topping and wishing there was more of it, ratio of peach to topping was HEAVY on the peach. Tasted more like just a baked peach, which is good, but the serving size of even half a peach was a little much and I love sweets.
