Ingredients:
  • 6 slipstone peaches, halved, stone removed
  • 100g (1/2 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 150ml Botrytis Semillon dessert wine
  • 6 scoops vanilla ice-cream, to serve
  • 85g (1/2 cup) blanched whole almonds
  • 190g (1 1/4 cup) plain flour
  • 1.00 gm baking powder
  • 115g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 1 orange, rind finely shredded
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 2.20 gm vanilla essence
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Toast almonds on a baking tray in the oven for 7 minutes until golden. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then roughly chop.
  • Prepare a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. In a bowl, sift flour and baking powder together. Combine almonds, caster sugar, and orange rind, stirring until mixed. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla essence. Combine the egg mixture with the dry ingredients, using your hands to mix. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until fully combined. Shape the dough into a 4 x 25cm log. Place it on the prepared tray and bake for 20 minutes until golden and firm to the touch. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Prepare 2 lined trays with non-stick baking paper. Slice the biscotti into 5mm-thick pieces using a serrated knife and arrange in a single layer on the trays. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until golden brown, switching trays halfway through. Let them cool completely before serving.
  • Place peaches cut-side up in a large roasting pan, coat with brown sugar, and drizzle wine on top. Roast in a preheated oven for 30 minutes until peaches are tender and golden brown.
  • Plate ripe peaches with crisp biscotti and a scoop of creamy ice cream. Finish with a luxurious drizzle of any delicious pan juices.
