First off, Paris Hilton needs to hie her skinny ass back to jail.
Now that's been said, I'm blogging a recipe that isn't exactly Tuscan, but it's a wonderful dessert we had while we were in Tuscany. One of our friends made this for us one night and I don't know the name, but I'm calling it:
Broiled Amaretto Peaches
- 1 bag of crunchy ginger snaps
- fresh summer peaches (however many you want)
- 1/2 cup of Amaretto Di Saronno liqueur
- vanilla ice cream
1. Crush some ginger snaps in a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin or meat hammer.
2. Peel the peaches and cut them in half.
3. Mix the ginger snap crumbs in a bowl with the amaretto until they become crumbly (add the amaretto slowly - you might not need to use all of it!)
4. Spoon the ginger snap mixture into the peach halves. Shouldn't be over-flowing, but should cover the top of the peach.
5. Put them in a pan under the broiler for a few minutes (until the mixture becomes bubbly and crunchy).
6. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
This was rich, but really good!
mmm...I've done the same sort of things with plums stewed in honey...it's wonderful!!
