Baked Peaches

4 servings

30 minutes

Baked peaches are a classic Italian dessert that combines simplicity in preparation with refined flavor. In Italy, peaches are traditionally baked to reveal their natural sweetness and enhance their fruity aroma. Light caramelization in the oven gives them softness and tenderness, while the addition of lemon juice creates a subtle balance between sweetness and freshness. The taste of the dish is warm, rich, with a slight tartness that makes it particularly exquisite. Baked peaches are served as a standalone dessert, sometimes complemented with cream or ice cream. It’s an ideal choice for a summer dinner or romantic evening when you want to treat yourself to something simple yet incredibly delicious.
