Peaches in trees

Peches delight




But, isn’t in my table, yet. In these days I began to see the firsts peaches in grocers, but they are not still those of summer, juicy and sweet. As here at home, we liked peaches and a lot and as I was invited by Mansi Desai to the event of the month AFAM, I decided to make this dessert that I usually make it with fresh peaches. I was inspired by classic Uruguayan desert: "Chajá." (Pronounces Tsha-ha)

The name is due to an autochthonous Uruguayan bird, very light and bountiful plumage. Inspired by those adjectives the Dessert was born as Chaja. The original recipe consists on a layer of sponge cake; creamily combing, with meringue and peaches. To the cream I modified it and I increased white chocolate melted to the cream combing

You will need a round cutter to cut the sponge cake, it can be big if it is worth for many people or individual person as I used, and these produce 6 pieces
