Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Ripe peaches
- 3 tablespoons Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler on high.
Wash the peaches, cut them in half, and remove the pits. Slice each peach half into wedges and arrange them in a shallow, oven-safe baking dish in a single layer.
Drizzle the Frangelico evenly over the peach slices. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the topping.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fluffy.
Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the peaches, ensuring they are completely covered.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the mascarpone layer. This will help create a caramelized topping when broiled.
Place the baking dish under the broiler for 5-8 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this decadent yet simple dessert!
