Preparation
Step 1
I must have confessed already that I can’t imagine my life without sweets. I need to eat something sweet at least once a day: a piece of chocolate, a spoon or two of ice cream or a tiny slice of cake. Eating sweets is the only vice I have at the moment, after quitting the cigarettes and successfully overcoming my addiction to chewing gum and diet coke few years ago. Multiple times I have tried to stop eating sugar but without any success. Eventually for the time being I decided to accept myself the way I am. I am just trying to limit the quantities of consumed sugar in order to avoid becoming like a wale someday (but there are no guarantees for anything in this life).
3 large peaches, peeled and cut in small pieces
In a small saucepan combine peaches, sugar and water and bring them to boil. Lower the heat, cover the pan with a lid and let simmer for 5-10 minutes so that the mixture becomes thick almost like a jam. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
Whisk the mascarpone together with the caster sugar and vanilla extract. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the whipped cream to the mascarpone, folding gently until combined.
Break the biscuits in pieces and arrange them on the bottom of tall glasses. Cover the biscuits in each glass with 2 tbs of the mascarpone mixture. Pour on top one tbs peaches jam. Continue with another 2 tbs of the mascarpone and top with another tbs of the peaches jam. Decorate with fresh fruit. Cover the desserts with cling film and leave them in the fridge for 4-6 hours before serving.
