Ingredients

Scale

Peach Syrup and Filling

4 cups Fresh Peaches (pitted and sliced)
1 cup Water (essential for extracting peach flavor)
1 cup Granulated Sugar (can substitute with brown sugar)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
1.5 cups Heavy Cream (whip until stiff peaks form)
16 ounces Mascarpone Cheese (full-fat for creamier filling)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure adds depth to flavor)
1 teaspoon Almond Extract (can be replaced with more vanilla)

Assembly

1 package (7 oz) Savoiardi Ladyfingers (about 24; soak lightly in peach syrup)
Leftover Peach Syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions

Prepare Peach Syrup: Combine the sliced fresh peaches, water, and granulated sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the peaches soften. Strain the mixture to separate the syrup and peaches. Chill both the syrup and peaches separately in the refrigerator.
Make the Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and set it aside. In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, remaining sugar, chilled peach syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light, creamy filling.
Assemble the Tiramisu: Lightly dip each savoiardi ladyfinger into the chilled peach syrup for just a split second, so they absorb flavor without becoming soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish.
Layer the Filling: Spread half of the peach mascarpone filling evenly over the ladyfingers. Then add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top, followed by the remaining filling. Spread the top layer smoothly and cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Chill: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.
Serve: Once chilled, slice the tiramisu and serve it topped with leftover peach syrup or peach compote for an extra burst of fruity flavor.

Notes

Use fresh ripe peaches for the best flavor; canned peaches will not yield the same freshness.
Be careful not to over-soak the ladyfingers to prevent sogginess.
The dessert can be made a day in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator.
Substitute almond extract with vanilla extract if preferred.
For a lighter version, use reduced-fat mascarpone and cream, though the texture may be slightly less rich.
