Now is the time to enjoy both the fragrance and the flavour of intensely sweet nectarines. Keep it simple - just give them a stylish escort. They are a perfect match for champagne, ice-cream, mascarpone, brown sugar or honey.

Ingredients

  • 6 large ripe nectarines, halved and stoned

  • 4 ripe apricots, halved and stoned

  • 55g caster sugar

  • 30g ground hazelnuts

  • 300g ricotta

  • 2 tbsp icing sugar

  • For the chocolate cinnamon wafers

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 100g shortbread biscuits

  • 75g dark chocolate, melted

Method

  1. For the chocolate cinnamon wafers

    Crumb cinnamon and biscuits in a food processor until fine, add melted chocolate and mix well. Place mixture between two sheets of baking paper and, using a rolling pin, roll very thinly into a rectangle about 20 x 24cm. Remove top sheet and, using a sharp knife, mark 8 rectangles (approx 5 x 8cm). Replace paper and freeze until firm (10-15 minutes) or until required.

    Place nectarines and apricots, cut side up, on a foil-lined baking tray and sprinkle with sugar and hazelnuts. Cook under a hot grill for about 5 mins or until fruit is warmed through.

    Combine ricotta and icing sugar in a small bowl and mix well.

    To serve

    Serve warm fruit with a dollop of ricotta and the chocolate wafers on the side.
