300ml rosé wine (or red)

How to prepare cream cheese with peaches in wine

Cream: Mix together the cream cheese, sugar and cream until smooth. Scrape out the seeds from the vanilla pod and mix them into the cream cheese. The cream will have a lovely texture with black specks from the vanilla.
Wine: Put the wine with sugar and the vanilla pod shell to boil for 10 minutes; it needs to reduce a bit to make a syrup. Dissolve the gelatin in it and let it cool to room temperature.
Crush the biscuits, slice the peaches into thin slices, almost transparent.
Divide the cream cheese between 2 transparent glasses and level it with a teaspoon; you can also use a piping bag to distribute the cream more nicely in the glasses.
On top of the cheese layer, add a thin layer of biscuits. On top, arrange the very thin peach slices until almost filling the glass. Pour the wine over the peaches, slowly so the biscuit crumbs don't rise up. Refrigerate until the wine sets, at least 1 hour.
