This is another fresh dessert perfect for the summertime! The original recipe comes from ‘Cucina Moderna Oro’, but I have modified it a bit. It is very easy and fast to make, but do take into account that it has to chill in the fridge for about two hours . Last but not least…it is low in calories!

Ingredients

100g dry cookies, crushed
2 big yellow peaches + ½ sliced peach to garnish
2 tablespoons sugar
Juice of 1 small lemon
30g cornflour
4 tablespoons ice water
25g butter
1/2 small glass of red orange juice ( or apple juice)*
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method

Mix crushed cookies with butter. Add the juice and mix well. Pour the mixture into 5 silicone cups and press evenly into the bottom. Chill in the fridge.

Peel and cut the fruit. Add lemon juice and sugar and blend. Pour the mixture into a saucepan, add vanilla essence and cook. Do not bring to the boil. Dissolve the cornflour into the water and add to mixture. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes on a low heat.

Pour the cream on prepared crust. Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Turn out the cakes onto a serving plate and garnish with the sliced peach.

*If you want the crust to be crunchier, then do not add the juice to the mixture.
