Steps for preparing caramelized peaches with amaretti and chocolate
To prepare the delicious caramelized peaches, start by thoroughly washing the peaches under running water. Peel them with a peeler or a knife.
Cut the peaches in half, remove the pit, and slice into fairly thick wedges
Heat a non-stick pan d. 22 and add the peaches and sugar, cooking for 5 minutes with the lid on.
The peaches should become soft but not fall apart. Cook over medium heat and turn them only once on each side. The caramel will coat them, creating a shiny and fragrant glaze.
Once cooking is finished, sprinkle with the crumbled amaretti directly with your hands and with the dark chocolate cut into flakes.
And the caramelized peaches are ready to be served hot or cold.
