  So simple, but the end product is truly stunning. It looks good and tastes even better, if you want to impress then this is a must.

  Yuk, will not make these again. I think my peaches were a tad ripe and thus collapsed in the dish. I don't think I like the combination of chocolate and soft fruit.

  Tasted delicious but did anyone else have trouble halving/stoning their peaches? Not sure if mine were under/over-ripe but I found it really hard to split them without squashing half the fruit in the process. Any tips?

  Have made this lots of times, always turns out well and is a real crowd pleaser. Don't usually use the honey as the peaches are sweet enough. Works well if you put a small glass of white wine and a drop of water in the dish when you bake them, it makes a nice syrup to serve with the peaches. I find it works best with slightly under ripe peaches as they soften considerably when cooked - also easier to halve/stone.

  If you want to make a good impression, prepare this dessert. I added a bit of lemon juice to the unfilled peaches so that the flesh retains its colour.

  Wow, don't worry too much about ratios. These ingredients go so well together so just decide how you might like it best. I am not a great lover of ice cream but this would be awesome with a good ice cream.
