Preheat grill (broiler to high). Place peach halves, cut-side up, on a greased oven tray. Drizzle with honey and scatter with raspberries. Grill for 8 mins or until peaches are beginning to brown around edges.
Meanwhile, cut panettone crossways into 4x1.5cm thick rounds (reserve any leftover panettone for another use – see tip); cut rounds into quarters. Preheat oven to 180°C. Beat butter and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in cinnamon, ground almonds and non alcoholic wine. Spread panettone slices with almond mixture; place on two baking-paper-lined oven trays, sprinkle with flaked almonds. Bake for about 20 mins or until golden.
Serve almond panettone topped with ricotta and peaches.
Tip: Any leftover panettone is delicious toasted.
