Stuffed Peaches - Beautiful Bounty
- 4 ripe peaches
- 1/2 cup almonds (can be roasted but not salted)
- 1/2 cup cashews (can be roasted but not salted)
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 2-3 tablespoons honey (can use maple syrup to make this a vegan recipe)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut (as a garnish)
- Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits.
- With a melon baller, scoop out about a tablespoon of peach flesh from the center of each peach. You will have a hole about twice the size of the one left from the pit.
- Cover the peaches with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Put the peach pulp into a food processor with the remaining ingredients (except for garnish) to make a stuffing. Process for a few seconds until you get a chunky, uniform mixture.
- Freeze the mixture for 1-2 hours.
- With a melon baller, scoop out a ball of stuffing and use it to fill the hole of a peach half. Repeat for the remaining 7 halves. Garnish with toasted coconut.
- Optional: Quickly grill the peach halves before stuffing them. If your peaches aren't perfectly ripe, grilling them will bring out their sugars and soften.
