Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk 8 oz mascarpone cheese with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Step 2: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined and light.
  3. Step 3: Toss 3 medium peeled and sliced ripe peaches with 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl to prevent browning.
  4. Step 4: Heat 3 tbsp honey in a small skillet over medium heat until warm and runny, about 1 minute, then stir in 1/2 cup sliced almonds. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until almonds are fragrant and golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool.
  5. Step 5: To assemble, spoon a layer of mascarpone cream into four serving glasses, followed by a layer of peach slices, then sprinkle with honey almond crunch. Repeat layers once more, finishing with a sprinkle of honey almond crunch on top.
  6. Step 6: Chill parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
