Spiced Peaches with Brioche and Mascarpone

PREP: 10 MIN  |  COOK: 15 MIN  |  SERVES: 4

One of the yummiest desserts – ever. Easy, yet elegant, too. If you don’t want the bread and mascarpone, the warm spiced peaches are wonderful over yogurt or ice cream.

ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds peaches, stoned, medium dice
  • 3 1/2 ounces sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 cardamom pods
  • 1 tablespoon The Ginger People® Ginger Juice
  • 8 ounces brioche, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

mascarpone filling

  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons marsala
  • 1 pound (16 ounces) mascarpone

 

directions

  1. Place peaches in a large saucepan with sugar, cinnamon and cardamom. Stir over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until juices are released.
  2. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until peaches have broken down. Remove from heat. Discard spices. Add Ginger Juice. Let cool.
  3. For mascarpone filling, using an electric mixer, whisk egg yolks and sugar until thick. Add marsala and whisk until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip mascarpone.
  5. Fold in mascarpone. Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks, then gently fold into mascarpone mixture.
  6. Divide peaches evenly between four glasses. Top with brioche cubes, then add mascarpone filling. Repeat layers twice, finishing with mascarpone. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
