Pastries
Description
You can prepare the "peaches" even faster by using only sweetened condensed milk as the creamy filling. You can choose a single color for the "peaches"—yellow or orange. If you prefer natural food colorings, I recommend using freshly squeezed juices. Carrot juice will give an orange color, and beet juice will give a red color. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.

6. Using a sharp small knife, cut a shallow indentation on the flat side of each baked disc. Imagine our "peach" needs a "pit," or rather, a hole for it. Be extremely careful—the "peaches" are very fragile and may break apart. Collect the cut-out pieces in a separate small bowl, as we will need them soon.

10. So, the filling is ready. Now take one half, fill the indentation with cream, slightly spread it over the flat surface of the cookie, and stick it together with the second half. Mound the filling slightly in the central indentation, as the sweet "hill" will fit into the hole of the second cookie half.

12. Prepare three dishes. Put several tablespoons of sugar into one. Pour a glass of milk into each of the other two and add food coloring. Orange color is obtained by mixing 50 drops of red with 20 drops of yellow.
