Carefully remove baking paper before serving.
  • Whip the cream and extra icing sugar in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone until well combined and the mixture is velvety and smooth.
  • On a plate, layer the meringue with cream and peaches, repeating the process until all ingredients are used. Finish by sprinkling with extra pistachios.
