Ingredients

6 total
  • 2 oranges, zested and juiced, plus extra zest to serve
  • 135g caster sugar, plus 3 tbsp
  • 6 peaches, halved
  • 6 medium egg yolks
  • 3 tbsp marsala (or orange juice)
  • 100g amaretti biscuits, crushed

Method

3 steps

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C fan/gas 7. Combine the orange zest, juice and 3 tbsp sugar in a baking dish; add the peaches and toss through to coat. Roast cut-side up for 15 mins or until softened and caramelised.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and remaining sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water for 8 mins, until thickened enough for the whisk to leave an impression. Turn off the heat; whisk in the marsala or orange juice.

  3. Step 3

    To serve, place two peach halves on each plate, top with a dollop of warm custard and scatter with crushed amaretti and extra zest.
