Roasted Peaches with Amaretto Ricotta

Sharing is caring!

This is such a quick dessert, very light for hot summer days, and can be made ahead of time. Great with peaches, but any stone fruit will do. Just gather up some peaches, cut them in half, remove the stone, and on a baking sheet sprinkle them with a little butter, cinnamon and brown sugar, roast for about 15 to 20 min’s in a 400F. oven. Roast cut side down.

Place your drained ricotta in a bowl, sweeten to taste with some sugar, and then pour in some Amaretto liqueur, start with a couple tablespoons, just taste test it, you’ll know when to stop.

I like to add some chopped candied orange peel, or freshly grated peel to the ricotta. Combine everything really well together. When the peaches are soft and warm, place your cold ricotta mixture on top and then sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds, and a drizzle of honey. Now all you have to do is pour a cup of coffee and enjoy!!

  27. The dessert sounds terrific Marie. That’s the type of dessert I like to make, easy and still elegant.

    Love seeing pics of your garden. My roses got “rose slug” so I have been to the nursery for advice on an organic way to get rid of the little buggers. Yuck. We’ll see if their solution worked.

  28. Marie, those peaches looks so good… and look at your garden, growing so nicely 😉

    XXX’s

  29. The peaches sound so delicious!

  30. The peaches sound so good, your garden is growing very nicely. All we’ve had is rain here so the gared is doing great!

  31. You’re right – the perfect summertime dessert. Will try it this weekend. I love playing with fruit in the summer! Of course, we are so peach deprived during the winter, we chomp down the peaches before I get a chance to cook with them. Bravo to your garden – isn’t this time of year grand?

  32. seeing all these pics of gardens has me thinking. thinking mind you! LOL My black thumb has me not thinking too.

  33. I love what you did with those peaches. Looks scrumptious. Your garden is really growing well. Green thumb indeed! And that fountain and flowers are so pretty.

  34. Both your gardens are beautiful, Marie!!! I made roasted peaches, but NEVER thought of the ricotta cream…I cannot wait to try it again!!!

  35. This dessert sounds wonderful! I’ve never made roasted peaches before, but with peach season coming up I will definitely try it. Your garden is looking great! We have a tiny grape tomato potted plant on our balcony that is slowly growing. I think this chilly weather in Chicago lately has stunted its growth 🙂

  36. I saw some nice stuffed peaches on Ciao Chow’s site and wondered what to stuff a peach with!!
    You have answered my questions.
    Love ricotta stuffed anything.
    Pretty garden.

  37. I would love one of these warm peaches right now, gonna try this dish (maybe with ice cream?)

    LOVE those peppers & Maters, and of course the blooms 🙂 .. kudos hubby!

  38. Oh, what a wonderful dessert. I’m liking that!!!! And your garden grows!!! Good job to the hubby, can he do mine?
