Description
This Peaches and Cream recipe is a great way to use ripe peaches in the ultimate summer dessert. Mix fresh peaches in a vanilla-infused cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches
- 8 tablespoons heavy cream (double cream, whipping cream, or half and half)
- 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: sprigs of mint to garnish
Instructions
- Wash, then cut the peaches, remove the pits and slice.
- Add the peach slices to a bowl, sprinkle them with sugar, and gently toss to coat. Set aside for 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir the vanilla into the cream (whip slightly if desired), then pour over the peaches.
- Refrigerate for a few hours for best flavor or serve immediately. Divide into bowls and garnish with mint if using.
Notes
- Choose peaches that are just ripe—soft to the touch but not mushy.
- Be careful when removing the pit to avoid damaging the flesh.
- Ensure sugar dissolves fully to avoid a grainy texture.
- Add a drizzle of strawberry or raspberry syrup for extra flavor.
- Pair with strawberries and cream for a festive dessert.
- Try it with peach compote for a quick variation.
- Serve with a gin and tonic float on a hot summer day.
