Chocolate Amaretti Peaches - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 ounces chocolate amaretti cookies (crushed)
2 ounces chocolate (chopped)
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg white (lightly beaten)
4 peaches (ripe, but firm)
2/3 cup white wine (I suggest a Riesling)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 grated orange, zest of
whipped cream (to garnish) (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F.
Combine crushed Amaretti cookies, chocolate, orange zest, honey & cinnamon in a bowl. Add the beaten egg white & mix to bind the mixture.
Halve & pit the peaches & fill the cavities w/sml mounds of the chocolate mixture.
Arrange the stuffed peaches in a lightly buttered, shallow ovenproof dish which will just hold the peaches comfortably.
Mix the wine & sugar in a measuring cup & stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour the wine mixture around the peaches.
Bake for 30-40 min till the peaches are tender when tested w/a skewer & the filling is golden. Serve immediately w/a little of the cooking juices spooned over the top & whipped cream in a separate bowl as an optional garnish.
