‘Burnt’ Peach and Mascarpone Cheesecake Tart

The base for this recipe is a sweet shortcrust pastry tartlet. Puff pastry can also be used. If using a biscuit base, the home-made ginger shortcake (see Rhubarb and Ginger Shortcake Pudding) can be rolled out and cooked in the cake ring. Or just make a mixture of half crushed ginger snaps and half digestive biscuits for a quick and easy base (see Note below).
