Serves 2

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

For the Peaches

• 6 fresh, very ripe peaches - halved and pitted
• 6 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted - cut into 12 small pieces

For Serving

• 2 scoops vanilla gelato / or Greek yogurt / or whipped cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

LET’S COOK IT

Step 1 - Preheat the Oven

• Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C

Step 2 - Prepare the Peaches

• Wash the peaches under cold water, cut in half and remove the stone
• Transfer the peaches, cut side up, to a baking sheet pan lined with aluminum foil
• Spoon ½ teaspoon brown sugar in the center of the peaches and place a small piece of butter on top of the brown sugar
• Place peaches in the oven and bake uncovered in mid shelf position until the peaches are nicely roasted and fork tender, about 10 min
• Remove from the oven and let cool
• Keep the peach roasting liquid; which is left underneath the peaches on the aluminum foil

Step 3 - Serve the Peaches

• Transfer the warm roasted peaches onto a serving plate
• Spoon the roasting liquid on top of peaches
• Dust with powdered sugar and serve with vanilla gelato, (or Greek yogurt or whipped cream) on the side

Tip - Top the peaches with one small round of fresh black pepper from the mill (adults only) and sprinkle with a little Maldon Sea Salt flakes. This will give this dessert an extra kick. Enjoy…
