For peach mallow fondue, make a cross cut in 1 large ripe peach, put in a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 1 minute. Drain and peel off the skin. Cut the peach in half, remove and discard the stone and roughly chop the flesh. Purée in a blender or food processor until smooth, or rub through a sieve. Heat with the marshmallows and cream as above. Serve with peach slices and biscuits as above.
