Ingredients
Fruits
- 4 ripe peaches
Dairy and Flavorings
- 8 tablespoons heavy cream (double cream, whipping cream, or half and half)
- 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Garnish
- Sprigs of mint
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly, then use a knife and cutting board to cut and remove the pits. Slice the peaches evenly to ensure consistent texture.
- Sugar Coating: Place the peach slices in a mixing bowl, sprinkle them evenly with the white granulated sugar, and gently toss to coat. Let them sit for 5 minutes so the sugar can dissolve and draw out the peach juices.
- Prepare the Cream: In a separate bowl, stir the vanilla extract into the heavy cream. Optionally, whisk the cream slightly to incorporate air and lighten its texture.
- Combine and Chill: Pour the vanilla-infused cream over the sugared peaches. For best flavor, refrigerate the mixture for a few hours to allow the peaches to infuse the cream with their flavor.
- Serve: Divide the peaches and cream into serving bowls. Garnish optionally with fresh mint sprigs and enjoy immediately or after chilling.
Notes
- Using ripe peaches ensures maximum sweetness and juice for the best flavor.
- For a lighter dessert, half and half can be used instead of heavy cream.
- Lightly whipping the cream adds a fluffy texture but is optional.
- Chilling for a few hours enhances the infusion of vanilla and peach flavors.
- Mint sprigs provide a fresh aromatic garnish but can be omitted.
