Description

Discover the ultimate guide to making the best old fashioned peaches and cream recipe. Learn how to create a decadent dessert that will impress your guests every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh ripe peaches (about 750g)
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) fresh lemon zest
  • 75 g (6 tbsp) sugar divided
  • 295 ml (1 1/4 cups) heavy cream cold
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • Optional garnishes: extra lemon zest, cinnamon, vanilla wafers

Instructions

  1. Slice the ripe peaches into wedges about half an inch thick and carefully remove the fuzzy skins.
  2. Place a medium-sized mixing bowl on your workspace. Combine the peaches with the lemon zest and five tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and mix everything thoroughly. Set this mixture aside.
  3. In another bowl, pour in the cold heavy cream. Add one tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer with a whisk attachment to lightly whip the cream until it becomes fluffy yet still slightly pourable, not as stiff as whipped cream for decorating cakes.
  4. Lay out four large or six small serving cups. These could be glass ramekins or ice cream sundae glasses. Distribute the peach slices evenly among the cups and ensure you drizzle the peach juices over them.
  5. Add the lightly whipped cream into each cup. Gently tap the cups to allow the cream to settle between the peach slices.
  6. Cover each cup with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or up to two days. Before serving, remove the plastic wrap and adorn the tops with more lemon zest, a dusting of cinnamon, or a vanilla wafer if desired.

Notes

  • Thoroughly combine peaches with lemon zest and sugar to enhance fruit flavor.
  • Whip cream to a fluffy, pourable consistency for a light dessert texture.
  • Chill dessert in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.
