Do you need any special ingredients to make Baked Amaretto Peaches with Meringue?
We use Sukrin 1 which is an all-natural granulated stevia sweetener alternative to sugar with zero calories. You can grab Sukrin 1 over on Amazon UK.
Sukrin 1 doesn’t have that strange after taste that a lot of artificial sweeteners do!
It also shares the exact same sweetness and weight to sugar – which makes it really easy to substitute in recipes like this Baked Amaretto Peaches with Meringue.
If you are using a powdered sweetener, then please check how it compares to sugar. In some cases you’ll need to use less, as powdered sweeteners weigh less.

While the peaches are in the oven, make the meringue: Place the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl and whisk with an electric whisk, on high speed for 1 – 2minutes, until they become stiff.

After 10 minutes, remove the peaches from the oven and pour another half teaspoon of Amaretto over each one.
