PEACHES AND CREAM, LITERALLY
The classic combination of peaches and cream is as simple as it sounds: peaches, lightly sweetened and simmered, need only a splash of cold heavy cream and nothing more. Just remember to make this ahead of time for the peachiest results.

Steps:
- Cut each peach in half along the crease, twist open, and remove the pit. Peel and slice. Cut slices in half to get roughly 2 cups of sliced peaches.
- Bring sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil until a syrup forms, about 3 minutes. Stir in peaches until coated. Bring syrup back to a light simmer, about 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and pour mixture into a bowl.
- Transfer peaches into a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Divide mixture between serving glasses, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely chilled and cream has absorbed all the peach flavor, at least 3 hours.

Steps:
- For the crumbs: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the amaretti crumbs, butter, salt and cinnamon and pulse until the crumb mixture resembles wet sand. Spoon the crust mixture into six 6-ounce jars, dessert cups or ramekins. Pat the crumbs down lightly.
- For the cheesecake mixture: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of the confectioners' sugar and beat to medium peaks. Transfer to a bowl and set aside in the refrigerator.
- To the stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and mascarpone and beat until fluffy and no lumps remain. Add the vanilla, lemon zest and remaining 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and beat until well combined. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
- Divide the cheesecake evenly among the containers with a spoon or transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe in the filling. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and set, 2 to 3 hours.
- For the peach salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, honey and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Before serving, top each cheesecake cup with peach salsa and garnish with mint.
PEACHES AND CREAM
This peaches-and-cream dessert is always refreshing. When peaches aren't in season, I use frozen fruit with great results.
