Total preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 4 hours
Number of servings: 10

Necessary ingredients:

For the cookie base:
- 400 g Petit Beurre cookies (you can use 300 g, but more cookies provide a sturdier base)
- 200 g butter (if you prefer a richer texture, add up to 300 g)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar

For the filling:
- 2 peach yogurts (preferably natural yogurts with no added sugar)
- 1 natural yogurt (preferably low-fat)
- 200 ml whipped cream (whipped until firm)
- 1 kg peaches (fresh and well-ripened)

Step by step:

Step 1: Preparing the cookies
Start by crushing the cookies. You can use a rolling pin or a food processor to achieve a fine texture. These will form the tart base, so make sure they are well crushed. In a bowl, mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter and vanilla sugar. This combination will add sweetness and flavor to your dough.

Step 2: Forming the base
Prepare a detachable mold (about 24 cm) and line it with baking paper. Add the cookie mixture to the mold and press down well with the bottom of a glass to flatten it. This step is crucial for obtaining a firm base that will not crumble when cut. Once done, place the mold in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will allow the butter to harden, making the base more stable.

Step 3: Creating the filling
Meanwhile, whip the cream until firm. In another bowl, add the peach yogurts and the natural yogurt. Mix well to achieve a smooth consistency. Then, gradually add the whipped cream, gently folding to maintain airiness and achieve a light and airy filling.

Step 4: Preparing the peaches
Peel the peaches and cut them into small cubes. Add them to the yogurt and cream mixture, gently folding to distribute them evenly. The peaches not only provide a wonderful flavor but also add a note of freshness and color to your tart.

Step 5: Assembling the tart
Remove the mold from the fridge and carefully pour the peach filling over the cookie base. Level the surface with a spatula, ensuring it is even.

Step 6: Cooling
Garnish the tart with thin slices of peaches, beautifully arranged on top. Now, the tart needs to chill in the fridge for 4 hours (or ideally overnight) to firm up and develop flavors.

Serving and suggestions
When you are ready to serve the tart, carefully remove the detachable mold and decorate with raspberry syrup or pureed raspberries for an extra burst of flavor. It is a dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a refreshing lemonade.

Useful tips:
- Choosing peaches: Select well-ripened but firm peaches. They will add intense flavor and a pleasant texture to your tart.
- Variations: You can substitute peaches with other seasonal fruits, such as apricots or plums. You can also add a bit of cinnamon to the yogurt mixture for an even more aromatic taste.
- Calories and nutritional benefits: A slice of tart has approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the amount of butter used. Peaches are rich in vitamins A and C, and yogurts contain beneficial probiotics for digestion.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use cookies other than Petit Beurre?
Yes, you can use any type of cookies that crush easily and have a pleasant taste, such as Digestive cookies or even cocoa cookies for a more intense flavor.

- How can I store the tart?
The tart can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days, covered to prevent odor absorption.

- Is this recipe suitable for vegans?
You can adapt the recipe by using vegan cookies, plant-based butter, and plant-based yogurts.

I wish you great cooking success and hope you enjoy this refreshing peach tart! It is an excellent choice for a festive meal or simply to treat yourself on a hot summer day. Enjoy!
