▢ 1 cup/ 250 g mascarpone
▢ 1 cup/ 250 g heavy cream, cold
▢ 3 medium peaches, peeled and finely chopped
▢ 3 tbs sugar, (see notes for healthy/ keto version)
▢ 2 tbs water
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ 2 tbs powdered sugar, (see notes for healthy/ keto version)
▢ 1,7 oz / 50 g graham crackers (about 3), or vanilla wafers, petit beurre, etc. (see notes)

In a small saucepan combine peaches, sugar and water and bring them to boil. Lower the heat, and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring from time to time. The mixture will become 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 cookies roughly in pieces and arrange them on the bottom of 4 to 6 glasses or small jars. Cover the cookies in each glass with 2 tbs of the mascarpone mixture. Pour on top one tablespoon of the cooled peach jam. Continue with another 2 tbs of the mascarpone and top with another tablespoon of the jam. Decorate with fresh fruit.
Cover the glasses with cling film and leave them in the fridge for 4-6 hours before serving.

When the peaches are not in season, you can make this dessert with peach jam or peach preserves. Depending on the consistency of the product, you can heat them slightly and add some water in order to spread them easier around the glass.
You can make healthier version of this recipe by using unrefined sweeteners: coconut sugar or maple syrup for the peach jam and maple syrup or liquid honey for the mascarpone. Instead of regular crackers/ cookies use whole grain and refined sugar free ones or substitute them by almond flour/ almond meal.
For keto version use 3-4 tbs of xylitol in total for the whole dessert of 4-5 tbs of erythritol. You can also use stevia. Use keto friendly crackers/ cookies or substitute the crackers with almond flour/ almond meal.
