Ingredients
Maple-caramelised macadamias and seeds
- 2 tbsp macadamia nuts roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp sunflower seed kernels
- 1 quarter cup pure maple syrup
Peaches and cream
- ⅔ cup thickened cream
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 125 g cream cheese softened
- 1 tsp finely grated lime zest
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground ginger

Instructions
- Heat For the maple-caramelised macadamias and seeds, stir the nuts and seeds in a small frypan over medium-high heat until lightly browned and toasted. Add the syrup. Cook, shaking the pan constantly until nuts and seeds are coated and the mixture is thickened slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Spoon onto a baking paper lined tray and cool. Break into pieces.

- Combine the sugar and ginger in a small bowl.
- Brush the peach halves with melted butter and cook on a chargrill plate over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes or until lightly charred.
- Remove to a dish and sprinkle with sugar mixture.
- Set aside, covered loosely in foil, for 5 minutes.
- Serve peaches warm or cool, dolloped with lime cream cheese and sprinkle caramelised macadamias and seeds.
