Ingredients:
For the Base:
- 200g (7 oz) cookies (digestive or graham crackers work well)
- 90g (3 oz) butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 300g (10.5 oz) fresh or canned peaches, chopped
- 400ml (14 fl oz) milk cream (heavy cream or whipping cream)
- 300g (10.5 oz) yogurt (plain or Greek)
- 15g (0.5 oz) agar agar (or gelatin as an alternative)
- 200g (7 oz) condensed milk
Optional Topping:
- 15g (0.5 oz) chopped almonds (for added crunch)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cookie Base: Start by crushing the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan or any dish of your choice to create a firm base. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a small saucepan, dissolve the agar agar in a little water and heat it over medium heat until fully dissolved. This will help the filling set nicely. If using gelatin, follow the package instructions for dissolving. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk cream, yogurt, and condensed milk. Stir until smooth and well blended. Add the dissolved agar agar or gelatin to the mixture, stirring continuously to ensure it’s evenly distributed. Next, fold in the chopped peaches, making sure they are evenly spread throughout the creamy mixture.
3. Assemble the Dessert: Pour the peach filling over the chilled cookie base, smoothing the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle chopped almonds over the top for a delightful crunch. Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until it has set completely.
4. Serve and Enjoy: Once the dessert has set, remove it from the refrigerator and carefully release it from the springform pan if using. Slice into portions and serve chilled.
