Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Wash and peel the peaches, then slice them thinly and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the crumbs are well coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch round tart pan or baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to flatten it firmly. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and honey together until light and fluffy.
Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Arrange the sliced peaches on top of the mascarpone in a decorative pattern, overlapping slightly if desired.
Sprinkle the peaches with a pinch of ground cinnamon and a light drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice into wedges and serve cold. Enjoy your Peachy Treat!
