Halve the peaches and remove the stones. Brush with a lemon wedge so that the cut surfaces don’t darken. Place them in a tray, flesh side up, sprinkle with sugar and drizzle with vodka. Bash the biscuits to crumbs and fill the cavities of each peach halve. Bake for approx. 20 min at 200C, until the flesh is tender. Add the sugar and rosewater to the cream, whip until firm and chill. Sprinkle the peaches with almonds and serve warm with the chilled cream.

Crust: Sieve the ground almonds with the icing sugar, and mix with the egg white. Press the dough in a buttered 20cm spring-form pan. Prick it with a fork, cover with greaseproof paper and fill with beans or rice. Bake at 190C for approx 15 min, remove the beans and paper and bake for a further 10 minutes. Leave to cool.;Filling: Bring the cream to the boil. Meanwhile, finely chop the chocolate. When the cream starts to bubble, add the chocolate, turn the heat off and whisk until they are fully combined. Keep whisking while it cools down almost to room temperature. Fill the crust and let set in the fridge. Decorate with rose petals and serve.
