A delicious peach sundae. Peaches cooked in vanilla syrup topped with cream and crumbled amaretti biscuits.
Ingredients
For the peaches in syrup
- 150g/5½oz golden caster sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 450g/1lb frozen peaches, stones removed and cut into 8 pieces
For the cream filling
- 150g/5½oz mascarpone, at room temperature
- 150ml/5fl oz whipping cream
- 200g/7oz condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 tbsp amaretto, or dash almond extract
To serve
Method
To make the peaches, add 150ml/5fl oz water, the sugar, almond extract, vanilla paste to a small pan over medium–high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce by half to a sugar syrup consistency, this will take 5–7 minutes.
Add the frozen peaches, cook for 1 minute then remove from the heat. Set aside to cool
To make the cream filling, whisk the mascarpone until smooth in a large mixing bowl. Add the whipping cream, condensed milk, vanilla and amaretto (or almond extract). Using an electric whisk, whisk on a medium speed until the mixture is smooth and soft peaks form (be careful not to curdle the mixture). Add a splash more cream if it becomes too thick.
To assemble, sprinkle the amaretti crumbs into the base of 6 sundae glasses. Next layer the peaches over the biscuits along with 1 tablespoon of syrup on top. Top with a layer of the whipped cream mixture and chill in the fridge for a couple of hours to set.
When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and top each glass with more peaches, crumbled amaretti and the toasted almond flakes.
