Stuffed peaches my way are a classic of Italian cuisine, an ancient dessert.
Even in my region, Piacenza, it was a typical dessert to present at the end of a meal. It is reported in traditional Piacenza recipes, and was part of the list of desserts by Giuseppe Verdi’s cook.
Stuffed peaches are really delicious. We are talking about a quintessential summer recipe. In this case, I made some variations from tradition, where the filling is made with peach pulp, amaretti, cocoa, liqueur, and sugar. In fact, instead of cocoa, I used white chocolate, which makes it a little sweeter and more delicious.
My grandfather loved it, so my grandmother always prepared it for him for Sunday lunch. But he was so greedy that sometimes they disappeared before the said lunch time….
