Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 300 g biscuit(s) (Cantuccini – Italian almond biscuits)
  • 500 g mascarpone
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 tbsp Amaretto
  • 3 peaches, ripe, fresh, (possibly from a can)
  • 50 g almond(s) (leaves)

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Rest time approx. 12 hours; Total time approx. 12 hours 25 minutes

Line a shallow baking dish with the cantuccini biscuits. Whisk the mascarpone, egg yolk, and Amaretto until creamy (sweeten slightly if desired). Spread the mixture over the biscuits. Peel the peaches, slice them, and arrange them on top of the cream. The dessert should be refrigerated overnight so the almond biscuits become soft. Shortly before serving, toast the almond flakes in a dry pan and scatter them over the dessert.
