Description
Peaches and Cream is a classic dessert that pairs the natural sweetness of fresh peaches with creamy vanilla ice cream. This easy recipe is perfect for a quick treat or a refreshing dessert for gatherings. Fresh peaches are cooked in a cinnamon-kissed syrup and served warm with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of heavy cream.
Ingredients
- 4 small peaches or 3 large peaches
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon water (optional)
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 ⅓ cup vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Cut the peaches into slices and place them in a small saucepan.
- Add sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and water (if using) to the peaches.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until the liquid becomes syrup-like.
- Spoon the cooked peaches into four serving bowls.
- Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Drizzle with heavy whipping cream and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve immediately while the peaches are warm and the ice cream is soft for the best experience.
- Leftover peaches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently over low heat before serving and add fresh ice cream.
- For a party, prepare the peaches in advance and assemble with ice cream just before serving to maintain texture.
