Ingredients

For the Crust

1 sheet puff pastry thawed
8 oz mascarpone cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon powdered sugar
3 ripe peaches sliced
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon water
2 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pinch salt
edible gold flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, prick with a fork, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and flaky. Let cool completely.
In a bowl, mix mascarpone, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled pastry base.
Arrange peach slices in a single layer over the mascarpone mixture.
For the caramel gloss, combine granulated sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook without stirring until amber-colored, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, carefully stir in heavy cream, butter, and salt until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Drizzle caramel over the peaches. Garnish with edible gold flakes if desired. Slice and serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours.
