A round dessert in a metal cake pan shows three main layers: at the bottom is a light, spongy cake layer, above it thick yellow peach slices, and the top layer is creamy white whipped cream spread smoothly with small peaks, sprinkled with green lime zest and scattered toasted almond slices.

Tips & Variations

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute peach schnapps with peach juice or syrup to maintain flavor without the alcohol.
  • Use fresh peaches when in season for a lighter, fresher taste.
  • Try adding a handful of chopped fresh mint leaves for a hint of herbal freshness.
  • To add extra crunch, sprinkle toasted breadcrumbs or crushed amaretti biscuits between layers.

Storage

Store the tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. It’s best enjoyed within this timeframe for optimal texture. When ready to serve, allow it to sit for a few minutes at room temperature for easier spooning, but avoid leaving it out too long to maintain freshness.

How to Serve

A round layered dessert in a silver pan with a slice removed shows three main layers: a creamy white whipped topping sprinkled with light brown sliced almonds and green lime zest on top, a bright yellow fruit layer beneath, and a soft white base layer at the bottom; part of the whipped layer swirls smoothly across the top, while the texture of the fruit layer looks juicy, and the bottom white layer appears spongy. A white marbled surface underneath and a white plate holding a slice with a fork nearby complete the scene. The photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

  • 2 x 411g cans peach slices in syrup
  • 4 tbsp peach schnapps

Cream Mixture

  • 500ml double cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar

Other

  • 8 Morrisons butter brioche rolls, cut in half, then each half cut into 4 fingers
  • 1 lime, zested
