*For the pudding:*
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding
- 500 ml milk
- 6-8 tablespoons of sugar (depending on sweetness preference)
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence
- 250 g mascarpone

*For the syrup:*
- 200 ml water (optional, for amaretti biscuits)
- 1 tablespoon of instant coffee
- 1-2 teaspoons of almond essence

*For assembly:*
- 210 g cocoa biscuits (or amaretti)

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Preparing the pudding

1. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Make sure it doesn't boil too hard, just reach near boiling point.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the pudding powder with sugar and a few tablespoons of cold milk from the saucepan. This step prevents lumps in the pudding.
3. Once the milk is hot, pour the pudding and sugar mixture into the saucepan, continuously stirring with a whisk. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens.
4. When the pudding is ready, add the vanilla essence, mixing well. Cover the saucepan with plastic wrap, ensuring it is in direct contact with the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 2: Cooling the pudding

5. If you want to cool the pudding quickly, you can place the saucepan near an open window or alternatively, place the saucepan in another bowl of cold water for 20 minutes. This will help reduce the temperature quickly.

Step 3: Preparing the syrup

6. In a small saucepan, boil the water and add the instant coffee and almond essence. Mix well and let it cool. If you are using amaretti biscuits, you can skip this step, as they already have an intense and aromatic flavor.

Step 4: Assembling the dessert

7. Break the biscuits into large pieces by hand and soak them with 11 tablespoons of the syrup mixture, ensuring they are well moistened.
8. In a serving dish, create the first layer with biscuits, followed by a generous layer of pudding.
9. Add the drained peaches (make sure they are well-drained to avoid excess liquid) and then another layer of biscuits.
10. Continue with another layer of pudding, and finally, decorate with grated chocolate. This will add a pleasant contrast and a touch of refinement to the dessert.

Step 5: Final cooling

11. It is recommended to refrigerate the dessert for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and help set the texture.

Serving suggestions and variations

This dessert can be served plain, or you can add a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra creaminess. You can also experiment with other fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, instead of peaches for a different variation.

For an even more intense flavor, you can add a pinch of cocoa powder to the pudding or even a splash of almond liqueur to the syrup.

Nutritional benefits

This pudding is an excellent source of calcium due to the milk and mascarpone, while peaches add valuable vitamins and antioxidants. The cocoa biscuits provide a source of carbohydrates, which can be a quick energy source.
