Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the ripe peaches thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the peaches into thin, even wedges, removing the pit in the center. For best presentation, leave the skin on for added color and nutrition.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and begin whipping using an electric mixer or whisk. Start at a low speed and gradually increase to medium-high.
- As the cream begins to thicken, slowly add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until soft, fluffy peaks form, being careful not to over-beat.
- Arrange the peach slices in elegant serving dishes or glasses, creating a visually appealing layer at the bottom.
- Gently spoon the freshly whipped cream over the peach slices, covering them completely or creating decorative swirls.
- For a final touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves, strategically placing them to add a pop of green color and a hint of refreshing aroma.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and cream to set slightly.
Tips
- Peach Selection: Choose ripe, fragrant peaches that yield slightly when gently pressed. This ensures maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Cream Whipping Technique: For the fluffiest cream, chill your mixing bowl and whisk/beaters in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before whipping.
- Preventing Cream Overbeating: Stop whipping when soft peaks form. Overbeaten cream becomes grainy and butter-like.
- Presentation Matters: Use clear glass serving dishes to showcase the beautiful layers of peaches and cream.
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare this dessert up to 2 hours in advance, keeping it chilled until serving.
- Flavor Variations: Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for extra depth of flavor.
- Garnish Creatively: Besides mint, consider toasted almond slivers or a light dusting of powdered sugar for added elegance.
