Gratinated Almond Peaches

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan (electric oven 200°C) and grease a baking dish with butter.

For fresh peaches, pour boiling water over them, cool under cold water, peel, halve and pit.

Finely crumble the Amaretti.

Mix the crumbled Amaretti with the egg yolk, vanilla sugar, lemon juice and 5 tbsp peach liqueur into a pliable mixture.

Fill the peach halves with the Amaretti mixture and place one peeled almond on each.

Arrange the filled peaches in the dish, dot with small pieces of butter and drizzle with the remaining peach liqueur.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until the peaches are hot and the surface is lightly browned.

Remove from the oven, dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
