Ingredients
Peach Mixture
- Fresh peaches, sliced into thin wedges – 3 cups (about 4-5 medium peaches)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Dash of cinnamon
Mascarpone Cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Other
- Ladyfingers – about 24 pieces (enough to create layers)
Instructions
- Prep Peaches: Wash the fresh peaches thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges to prepare for the peach mixture.
- Make Peach Mixture: Combine the sliced peaches with 2 tablespoons of sugar and a dash of cinnamon in a bowl. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly and allow the sugar to draw out their natural juices.
- Whip Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture for the mascarpone mixture.
- Prepare Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla extract. Fold this mixture gently into the whipped cream until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble Tiramisu: In a serving dish or individual glasses, layer ladyfingers dipped briefly in the peach syrup or juice if desired, then spread a layer of the mascarpone cream, followed by a layer of the peach slices. Repeat the layering process until all components are used, finishing with mascarpone cream on top.
- Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly before serving.
Notes
- To enhance the flavor, you may briefly soak the ladyfingers in peach syrup or a peach liqueur before layering.
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and sweetness.
- This dessert can be prepared a day ahead, making it convenient for parties.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute mascarpone and heavy cream with suitable vegan alternatives.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg on top before serving for added aroma.
