I love marzipan, and when you make it yourself, even better. Who doesn't love almonds with peaches? Roasted peaches are fantastic in dessert! Add some cream or mascarpone and you're in peach heaven. Enjoy. Although this is a bit wintery as a dessert, it cuts really well as a cake and is perfect at Christmas time...peaches are the best right now down under anyway. But don't limit yourself to just Christmas! Really...remember this recipe anytime you need something amazing!

Serve with the obligatory dollop of thick double cream and enjoy warm or cold, though cold will make it easier to cut…all those peachy juices just make it a little gooey in the centre.
