# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 large ripe peaches
02 -
2 cups heavy cream
03 -
½ cup granulated sugar
→ Seasonings & Spices
04 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
05 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Pinch of salt
→ Garnish & Toppings
07 -
Toasted slivered almonds (optional)

Amaretto or Grand Marnier (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Wash and slice the peaches. I usually cut them in half and then slice the halves again, but you can dice them if you prefer.
02 -
In a bowl, gently combine the peaches, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir until combined.
03 -
Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
04 -
After chilling, taste and add more sugar if needed. My peaches vary in sweetness, so I always do a taste test.
05 -
Give it a gentle stir. Pour into bowls or glasses. Garnish with toasted almonds (optional).
06 -
Serve immediately and savor the creamy, peachy goodness!
# Notes:
01 -
Don't over-mix! Gentle stirring is key.
02 -
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; don't microwave!
03 -
Nectarines could be a pinch substitute, but the flavor differs.
04 -
Serve with shortbread cookies or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
