Ingredients
  

Tiramisu Components
  • 24 count Ladyfingers approximately two packs
  • 4-5 Peaches, ripe fresh or canned, well-drained and sliced
  • 500 g Mascarpone cheese
  • 400 ml Heavy cream cold
  • 100 g Granulated sugar
  • 200 ml Peach nectar or juice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp Amaretto or peach liqueur (optional) for dipping liquid
  • Mint leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer (handheld or stand)
  • Shallow dish
  • Serving dish (e.g., 9x13 inch baking dish)
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the peaches by slicing them thinly and, if using fresh, lightly sweeten them with a spoonful of sugar and a splash of lemon juice.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with half of the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form; set aside in the refrigerator.
  3. In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with the remaining sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, then gently fold in the whipped cream.
  4. Combine the peach nectar or juice with the optional liqueur in a shallow dish for dipping the ladyfingers.
Assembly
  1. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the peach liquid, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy, and arrange a single layer at the bottom of a serving dish.
  2. Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, then arrange a layer of sliced peaches on top of the cream.
  3. Repeat the layers: another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream and the rest of the sliced peaches.
  4. Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Serving Tips
  1. Tip 1: For the best flavor, use ripe, fragrant peaches, and consider grilling them lightly for a caramelized taste before assembly.
  2. Tip 2: Do not over-saturate the ladyfingers; a quick dip is sufficient to keep them from becoming mushy and maintain the tiramisu's texture.
  3. Tip 3: Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few extra peach slices just before serving to enhance the presentation and add a burst of freshness.

Notes

For an elegant touch, dust with powdered sugar or finely chopped pistachios before serving. The tiramisu can be made a day in advance, which often enhances its flavor as the ingredients have more time to fully combine.
