How to Make Chocolate Amaretti Peaches

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine crushed amaretti cookies, chocolate chips, orange zest, honey, and cinnamon.
  3. Add the lightly beaten egg white and mix gently until the mixture is just combined.
  4. Halve and pit the peaches. Fill the cavities of each peach half with a small mound of the chocolate amaretti mixture.
  5. Arrange the stuffed peaches in a lightly buttered, shallow ovenproof dish.
  6. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the dessert wine and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
  7. Pour the wine mixture evenly around the peaches in the dish.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the peaches are tender when pierced with a skewer and the filling is golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Spoon some of the cooking juices over the peaches and garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
