    Peach Tiramisu


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder or regular instant coffee
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    3/4 cup boiling water
    1/3 cup dark rum
    1 (17 ounce) container mascarpone cheese (2 cups), at room temperature
    1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 cup heavy cream
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 (7-ounce) /package dry Italian ladyfingers (savoiardi)
    4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

    Recipe



    Dissolve the espresso and granulated sugar in the water in a small bowl. (If you wish, substitute 3/4 cup brewed coffee for the instant espresso and water and dissolve the sugar in the hot coffee.) Stir in the rum and cool completely.

    In another medium bowl, using a rubber spatula, mash the mascarpone and confectioners' sugar until combined. In a chilled bowl, whip the cream and vanilla just until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone.

    One at a time, briefly dip the ladyfingers in the espresso mixture (do not soak them--it only takes a second), and arrange in a single layer in a 11- by 8- inch dish, breaking the ladyfingers as needed to fit. Fill any gaps with pieces of ladyfingers, but don't get obsessive about it. Spread with half of the mascarpone mixture, then top with the sliced peaches. Dip and layer the remaining ladyfingers, discarding the leftover espresso mixture, and spread with the remaining mascarpone. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve, spooned into bowls or large wine glasses.
