Ingredients

• 4 whole Peaches
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 60 grams Macadamia nuts
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 100 grams Mascarpone cheese
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the peaches in half and carefully remove the pits. Use a small spoon to scoop out a tiny bit of the flesh from the center to create a well for the filling.

Step 3

In a food processor or with a knife, roughly chop the macadamia nuts. They should have a coarse texture, not too fine.

Step 4

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, chopped macadamia nuts, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

Place the peach halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Divide the macadamia nut mixture evenly among the peach halves, pressing it gently into the wells.

Step 6

Roast the peaches in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and fragrant, and the tops are golden.

Step 7

While the peaches roast, prepare the mascarpone topping. In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with the honey and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Once the peaches are done, let them cool for 5 minutes. Serve each roasted peach half with a dollop of the mascarpone mixture on top.

Step 9

Garnish with a mint leaf, if desired. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
