Total Time: 4 hrs 20 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup peach puree
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 ladyfingers
- 1 cup sliced peaches
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
- In a separate bowl, gently blend mascarpone cheese, peach puree, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone-peach mixture, ensuring a light and airy texture without deflating the cream.
- Arrange a layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch rectangular dish, creating an even base.
- Spread half of the peach cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, ensuring complete coverage.
- Add a layer of fresh sliced peaches on top of the cream mixture.
- Repeat the layering process with remaining ladyfingers and cream mixture, creating a second complete layer.
- Garnish the top layer with additional sliced peaches for visual appeal.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for 4 hours or until firm and set.
- Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving to allow slight softening, then slice and serve chilled.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at the right temperature. Cold cream whips better, and room temperature mascarpone blends more smoothly.
- Whipping Technique: When whipping cream, stop just at soft peaks to maintain a light, airy texture. Over-whipping can make the cream grainy.
- Folding is Key: When combining whipped cream with the mascarpone mixture, use a gentle folding motion to preserve the air bubbles, which create a light, delicate texture.
- Peach Selection: Use ripe, sweet peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches aren't in season, high-quality frozen peach puree works wonderfully.
- Freezing Tip: Cover the tiramisu tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and unwanted ice crystals.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the dessert sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly, making it easier to slice and enhancing the flavors.
