- Cut the peaches in half with a small knife and remove the pits. Cut off the peel in strips. Place the peach halves in the baking dish as you finish peeling them.

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.

BAKED PEACHES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Arrange the peaches in a shallow gratin dish, cut-side up, in a snug single layer. If you like, fill the cavity of each peach with berries. Sprinkle the sugar over the peaches and berries-more or less, depending on the fruits' sweetness. Drizzle the wine or water over the fruit. Bake the peaches for about 20 minutes, until juicy and tender. Serve warm with their juices and, if you like, with softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Notes
- If you prefer, peel the peaches before baking: Drop the peaches in boiling water for 20 seconds or so, just enough to loosen the skins. Lift them out and plunge immediately into ice water. When cool, slip off the skins.
- In place of the berries, the peaches are delicious baked with an almond stuffing: Cream together 1/4 cup butter and 1 tablespoon sugar. Blend in 1 small egg yolk, 1/4 cup lightly toasted and chopped almonds, and 4 crushed macaroon cookies. Spoon the stuffing into the cavities of the peaches and bake. The stuffing is equally good with pears, nectarines, or apricots.

Steps:

Arrange the peaches in a single layer in a heavy baking tin, then bake for 25-30 minutes or until the flesh is tender and the stuffing nicely browned. Serve hot, with a dollop of mascarpone or crème fraîche and a dusting of sifted cocoa powder.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- To easily remove the peach skin, score a shallow X on the bottom of each peach and place them in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the peaches from the water and immediately place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. The skin should then slip off easily.
- If you don't have a baking dish, you can also bake the peaches in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to watch them closely so that they don't burn.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Serve the peaches warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious dessert.
Conclusion:
Baked peaches with chocolate is a simple but elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The peaches are soft and juicy, while the chocolate adds a rich and decadent flavor. This recipe is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you like your peaches served warm or cold, with ice cream or whipped cream, this dessert is sure to please everyone at your table.
