I happened to read today at foodimentary that it’s the National Eat a Peach Day. After double-checking the day’s authenticity, I was reassured this was not a joke. At that point, I ran to the store to buy a box of peaches.
I decided to create a relatively easy dessert that will be light and summery in order to honor the peach. I decided to make a few components for the dessert and assemble them in a glass wine.
The layer on the bottom was streusel made from cinnamon and rum.
On top of that I put whipped mascarpone cheese with vanilla and lemon peel, plus a bit of confectionary Sugar.
On the final, top layer, I put cut peaches mixed with some brown sugar and lemon juice that I cooked for 10 minutes.
I added some caramel tuiles and basil for garnish.(I didn’t have mint).
This is where it all started: Innocent, scrumpious peaches.
Started working on the tuiles:
Ready to go to the oven:
And here are the tuiles fresh out of the oven:
Just hanging there:
The peaches are working hard in the oven:
And all together:

Good bye, even the tuiles are tired….
