Grilled Peaches with Amaretto Cream
Description
Grilled Peaches with Amaretto Cream begins by halving and pitting just-ripe peaches, which are then grilled flat side down over medium-high heat until softened. After flipping, the peaches are basted with a mixture of softened butter and Amaretto for added richness and flavor. Meanwhile, a whipped cream is made by combining heavy cream with powdered sugar, Amaretto, and almond extract, whipped to a light, fluffy consistency. This cream is chilled until served alongside the warm grilled peaches. The combination of the grilled fruit's tender texture and the cool, fragrant whipped cream creates a dessert that balances warmth, sweetness, and nutty liqueur notes. The use of freestone peaches ensures easier preparation and clean halves. This dish is straightforward but offers a refined flavor contrast through the dual textures and the almond-flavored cream topping.
Ingredients
- 6 peaches freestone variety works best, just ripe
- 3 Tablespoons butter softened
- 1 Tablespoon amaretto
Amaretto Whipped Cream
- ½ Pint heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon amaretto
- ¼ Teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Halve the peaches and remove the pits. The recipe works best with peaches that are just ripe. If they are overripe, they will tend to get too mushy while cooking.
- Combine the 3 tablespoons of butter with the 1 tablespoon of Amaretto.
- Heat your grill or griddle to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees).
- While the grill is preheating prepare the whipped cream.
- Combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, Amaretto, and almond extract in a bowl. Using a hand held mixer, beat the cream mixture until your whipping cream has reached your desired consistency, typically 2-4 minutes. Refrigerate until needed.
- Oil your cooking grate or griddle and then grill the peaches flat side down for about 2-3 minutes. Flip the peaches over and baste with the Amaretto butter. Cook an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the peaches are soft.
- Serve warm topped with the Amaretto whipped cream.
