Trendy poached peaches elevate this creamy dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 6 peaches
  • 55g caster sugar
  • 300ml sweet Marsala (Sicilian fortified wine)
  • 2 cinnamon quills
  • 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
  • 2.50 gm arrowroot (see notes)
  • 200ml thickened cream
  • 24.00 gm icing sugar
  • 20.40 gm mascarpone
  • 40.00 ml sweet Marsala (Sicilian fortified wine)
  • 8 amaretti biscuits (see notes), crushed, plus extra crushed amaretti to serve
Instructions:
  • Whip cream and icing sugar to soft peaks using electric beaters. Gently stir in mascarpone, Marsala, and amaretti. Chill for 1 hour to enhance the flavors.
  • Preheat your oven to 170°C.
  • Place the peaches in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them sit for 30 seconds. Drain, cool slightly, peel, and set aside.
  • Combine sugar, Marsala, cinnamon, vanilla pod and seeds, and 1 cup (250ml) water in a saucepan over gentle heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Transfer the peaches to a shallow baking dish and generously drizzle the syrup on top. Bake for 30 minutes, making sure to baste the peaches occasionally until tender. Once done, remove the peaches from the syrup and let them cool down.
  • Pour the syrup into a saucepan over gentle heat. Mix arrowroot with 1 tablespoon of cold water, then stir into the syrup. Cook and stir for 1 minute until thick. Allow to cool.
  • Enjoy juicy peaches at room temperature or chilled, topped with amaretti cream, syrup, and amaretti crumbs for a delightful treat.
