Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 500 grams mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/2 cups white wine
- 1/3 cup peach liqueur, plus 2 tablespoons
- 24 Savoiardi (ladyfinger) cookies
- 5 medium peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup lightly toasted sliced almonds
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until light and creamy.
- Add sugar to the yolks and beat until smooth and pale.
- Add mascarpone to the yolk mixture and blend until fully combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
- Whip heavy cream to soft peaks and fold into the mascarpone mixture along with almond extract.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons peach liqueur into the diced peaches and set aside.
- In a shallow dish, combine white wine and 1/3 cup peach liqueur.
- Dip each Savoiardi briefly in the wine mixture to moisten, then place a single layer in a 9 x 13-inch dish.
- Spread half the mascarpone cream over the cookies evenly.
- Distribute the diced peaches over the cream layer.
- Add a second layer of dipped Savoiardi on top of the peaches.
- Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top.
- Sprinkle toasted sliced almonds over the surface.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Chill overnight for best texture and flavor.
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and aroma.
- Substitute peach nectar and almond extract for a non-alcoholic version.
- Garnish with fresh peach slices or extra almonds just before serving.
- Do not freeze—cream and peaches may lose texture when thawed.
