Peachmisu


Last Saturday was Phil's birthday.
I celebrated his big day by buying him a trip down south to Margaret River and of course did a simple n easy peachmisu for him.
Actually what is in my mind was making a mangomisu but i really cant find good mangoes in any stores at this time.
So i got no choice have to use peaches as substitute.
Luckily the end result was not too bad.
But still i prefer mangoes than peaches.
Anyway, Phil love it so much.
Ingredients:
  • 500g mascarpone cheese
  • 500ml thickened cream
  • 50g icing sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 125ml Grand Marnier
  • Juice of 2 oranges
  • 300g savoiardi (or sponge finger biscuits)
  • 1 can peaches (drained n thinly sliced)
Method:
  1. Line base of 22cm springform cake tin with plastic wrap or baking paper.
  2. Place mascarpone cheese, cream, icing sugar, egg yolks in a big bowl of electric mixer and beat on high speed until thick and well combined.
  3. Combine Grand Marnier and orange juice in a separate bowl. Dip half the sponge fingers into the juice mixture and layer in the base of the cake tin.
  4. spread in 1/3 of the cheese mixture and top with 1/3 of the peaches.
  5. Repeat the process, then top with remaining cheese. Reserving the remaining peaches slices to decorate.
  6. Cover the cake with cling wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  7. When it set, carefully removethe sides and base and transfer the peachmisu to a platter. Best to serve with rasberry sauce.

  8. 娇娇,谢谢你。你还好吧?身体恢复健康了?

    Ann, 其实你做的 蛋糕难度更高。我做的是简单sap suai 的啦。还要跟你学。尤其是蛋糕装饰。

    Rachel, TQ.我爱人即使没有我,他也肯定是个快乐幸福的人。因为他的EQ超高。 哈哈。。。他是不容许自己生气和不开心的。所以我的功劳不大。

  14. Pynn, whipping cream是动物鲜奶油。tickening cream 我也不会翻译。通常用来煮西式汤或菜。Jusco 应该买到的。
