US - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F
Wash, dry, and slice the peaches into eight pieces. Remove the pit.
In a bowl of a stand mixer (or hand mixer) beat the eggs with the sugar until nice and frothy. Add the mascarpone and the vanilla extract and incorporate well.
Butter the individual ramekins with butter. Add the egg mascarpone batter up to 2/3 the way up.
Drop the peach pieces into the cream and sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the top.
Bake for 20 minutes. Let them cool off before enjoying them.

Notes

Keep the skin on your peaches as it keeps the flesh together.
This recipe is for 4 large ramekins. I used Le Creuset, as they give the perfect presentation and hold the custard when it puffs up during baking. The lids of the ramekins make for a fun surprise presentation.
Try this dessert with other fruits throughout the year!
