This is a delicious and decadent cream that works equally well with either roasted or fresh apricots, peaches or - my favourite - sweet, ripe figs. The cream can be made the day before and will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.

Ingredients

4 nectarines, cut into quarters and stones removed
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp castor sugar
2 egg yolks
200g mascarpone
30ml brandy or cognac (or to taste)

Method

Preheat oven to 200C.

Place nectarines on a baking tray, sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar and roast for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.

Meanwhile, whisk castor sugar and yolks with an electric beater for 10 minutes, until they are pale and light. It is important to whisk the eggs for this long so they become light and creamy.

Add mascarpone and brandy and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use. The mixture will be quite runny but will firm up once cold.

To serve

Serve spooned over the roasted nectarines.
