Ingredients

• 500 grams Canned peaches (sliced, drained)
• 200 grams Ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
• 300 ml Heavy cream
• 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
• 50 grams Sugar (granulated)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 ml Peach syrup (from canned peaches OR peach juice)
• 1 tablespoon Unflavored gelatin
• 50 ml Hot water
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a springform pan (20-22 cm) by lining the bottom with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides if needed.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in hot water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Stir to ensure it is completely dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat until soft peaks form.

Step 4

Gradually add the dissolved gelatin into the cream mixture while folding gently to ensure it is evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the peach syrup into a shallow dish. Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the syrup (do not soak) and arrange them upright along the walls of the springform pan, with the sugared side facing out.

Step 6

Layer the base of the pan with syrup-dipped ladyfingers, breaking them as necessary to fit snugly.

Step 7

Spread half the cream mixture over the base layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.

Step 8

Arrange a layer of sliced peaches over the cream mixture, using half the peaches.

Step 9

Repeat the process: add another layer of syrup-dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cream mixture, and then the rest of the sliced peaches on top.

Step 10

Cover the charlotte with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.

Step 11

Before serving, carefully remove the springform pan. Dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your elegant Peach Charlotte!
