Description
A refreshing no-bake dessert that combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with creamy layers of whipped cream and ladyfingers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 medium peaches, extra-ripe and sweet
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup peach liqueur (or peach juice)
- 16 oz cream cheese (or mascarpone)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream, well-chilled
- 50 to 60 pieces ladyfinger cookies, firm & crispy
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gently washing the peaches under cool running water. Pat them dry, then slice them in half, removing the pits. Dice the flesh into small cubes.
- Add the peach cubes to a bowl, mixing them with half a cup of granulated sugar and a splash of peach liqueur or juice. Allow this mixture to sit for about 15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese (or mascarpone), powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whip these ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, pour the well-chilled heavy whipping cream. Beat it on high speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Start layering your tiramisu by dipping each ladyfinger briefly into the peach liqueur mixture. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of your baking dish.
- Spoon half of the cream filling over the ladyfingers, then layer half of the diced peaches on top.
- Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cream filling and peaches.
- Refrigerate for at least 240 minutes (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve cold, garnished with fresh mint leaves.
