Chocolate Dipped Peaches Recipes

Steps:

• Finely chop a 4-ounce bar of dark chocolate; microwave on 50% power until almost melted, about 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Dip dried mango, papaya and/or apricot pieces in the chocolate, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill until set, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut each peach half into 4 wedges.
• Dip into chocolate; place on plate.
• Sprinkle with nuts.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in the flour mixture in 2 batches until combined.
• Transfer the batter to a resealable plastic bag and snip the corner to create a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe the batter into 1/2-by-3-inch strips, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Dip the cookies halfway in the chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate just sets, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375.
• Grease a shallow baking dish with butter.
• Place cookies, grated chocolate, and butter in bowl and mix together.
• Place the peaches in a separate heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water.
• Let stand for one minute, then transfer to a bowl of cold water and let stand for additional minute.
• Remove the peaches from the skin.
• Cut each peach in half and remove pit.
• Using a teaspoon, scoop out a little flesh from each peach half.
• Chop the flesh and add to the cookie mixture.
• Fill each peach half with the amaretti cookie mixture, then sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and the filling is crisp.
• Transfer to a serving plate and serve hot with creme fraiche or sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 160C/conventional 180C/gas 4. Butter a large, shallow ovenproof dish. Cut the peaches in half and remove the stones, then stand the peaches cut-side up in the dish.
• Put the ginger biscuits into a tough plastic bag, seal the bag and bash the biscuits with a rolling pin until they're roughly crushed. Tip them into a bowl and mix in the chocolate, two-thirds of the chopped ginger, the egg yolk, dessert wine and orange zest until everything is evenly mixed.
• Divide the mixture equally between the peach halves, mounding it into the holes left by the stones. Pour the white wine around the peaches, dot them with the butter and bake for 20 minutes, or until tender. (This can be made up to a day ahead, kept in the fridge once cool, then gently reheated, in two batches, on Medium in the microwave for 4-5 minutes each batch.) To serve, spoon over the cooking juices and scatter with the remaining ginger. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In heavy saucepan, blend condensed milk & butter, & cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until butter melts.
• In large mixer bowl, combine cream cheese, vanilla & almond extracts, beating until fluffy.
• Gradually add condensed milk mixture, beating until smooth.
• Add cocoa & beat well, then refrigerate 5 minutes.
• Beat whipping cream until stiff.
• Gradually fold the stiff cream into chocolate mixture.
• Fold in chopped peaches.
• Line bottom & sides of a glass bowl with cake slices neatly positioned, then spoon in chocolate mixture.
• Refrigerate 5-6 hours, then garnish with reserved peach slices & serve.
