Bonjour!
Here is a French recipe. it is called a Peach Charlotte. Basically a light dessert made with biscuits, cream and fruit! It is just wonderful and melts in your mouth. It is perfect after a heavy main course.
Note that it is best to do it the NIGHT before you want to serve it:
ingredients:
3 boxes of boudoir biscuits (biscuits like the picture)
400 ml of whipping cream
1 big tin of peaches halves
3 tablespoons of peach schnapps or peach brandy
1 circular tin 10 cm wide and 20 cm deep
Recipe:
1.Drain the peaches in a bowl so that you keep the syrup. Add the peach brandy to it. put aside for the moment.
2. In an other recipient, whip the cream until very stiffs and set aside.
3.Dip each biscuit (only the non-sugar side) for 2 seconds into the syrup and brandy, let them drip for a few seconds, and then arrange them vertically (sugar side facing the tin) around the inside of the tin. Then continue with the base of the tin.
4. spread a medium-thick layer of whipped cream on the biscuits(about3 tablespoons). Then cover it with peach halves and cover the fruit with a thin layer of cream this time.
5. Dip a few biscuits in syrup and brandy and cover the cream with them(as above). Cover the biscuits with cream and peaches and cream, and continue until you get to the top of the tin.
6. Finish with a layer of biscuits, that should be about half a centimetre above the top of the tin
7. Before putting the tin in the fridge put a plate on top so that is squashes down a little. Leave it overnight.
8. Before serving, take it out of the fridge, turn it onto a plate and wait for it to drop onto it.
