Prep Time 30 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients  

Peach Layer

  • 3 lbs fresh peaches peeled and sliced (about 8–10 medium)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 lemon juiced

Mascarpone Cream

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
  • 16 oz mascarpone, softened
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp almond extract

To Assemble

  • 14 oz ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
  • 4 tbsp peach jam
  • Extra peach slices for topping

Method 

  • Toss peaches with brown sugar and lemon juice. Let sit 15–30 minutes until very juicy. Strain and reserve the syrup in a shallow dish for dipping.
  • In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and almond extract to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, gently mix mascarpone until smooth. Fold mascarpone into whipped cream until light and fluffy.
  • Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the peach syrup. Arrange a layer in a 9×13-inch dish.
  • Spread half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Spoon the sliced peaches evenly over the cream. Repeat with dipped ladyfingers, remaining cream, then swirl peach jam over the top with a knife or spoon. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Top with extra peach slices just before serving. Slice with a clean, sharp knife, wiping between cuts.

Notes

  • Don’t oversoak the ladyfingers, a quick dip in the syrup keeps them soft but not soggy.
  • Add a splash of peach nectar or apple juice for dipping if you’re short on syrup.
  • You can cut the recipe in half and make in an 8×8 pan.
