Ingredients
- 8 pieces Canned peach halves
- 120 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or pistachios, optional)
- 4 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by draining the canned peach halves and patting them gently with a paper towel to remove excess liquid. Set them aside on a serving plate.
Step 2
In a small saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream.
Step 3
If using a stovetop, place the saucepan over low heat and stir the mixture continuously with a spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. If using a microwave, heat the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well each time, until smooth.
Step 4
Once the chocolate is melted, add the vanilla extract and stir until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Let the chocolate sauce cool slightly for 1-2 minutes so it thickens slightly but remains pourable.
Step 6
Pour a generous amount of the chocolate sauce over each peach half, ensuring an even coating.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped nuts if desired, and place a mint leaf on top for a fresh touch.
Step 8
Serve immediately, and enjoy this simple yet elegant dessert!
