Present these to your dinner guests with their Italian name: ‘Pesche alla griglia con panna montata’.
Grilled peaches with whipped mascarpone cream
Equipment
- Bowl
- Griddle pan
Ingredients
- 200 g mascarpone cream cheese
- 2 tsp vanilla paste
- 4 peaches large ripe but firm, halved and stones removed
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 8 amaretti biscuits crushed
Method
- Put the mascarpone and vanilla paste into a bowl and mix until smooth. Place in the refrigerator.
- 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 three minutes. They are ready when the flesh is golden brown and chargrilled lines have formed.
