Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 2 large peeled and diced peaches with 1 tablespoon lemon juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
  2. Step 2: In a separate mixing bowl, beat 8 oz mascarpone cheese with 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and slightly fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: To assemble, spoon a layer of 1 cup graham cracker crumbs into serving glasses, followed by a layer of the mascarpone cream, and then a layer of the diced peaches. Repeat layers until glasses are filled, finishing with peaches on top.
  4. Step 4: Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and cream to set.
