Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole fresh peaches
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 sprigs mint leaves
- 1 whole lemon
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice each peach into halves, remove the pits, and then cut the halves into thin wedges.
Optional Step: If you prefer peeled peaches, blanch them by placing the whole peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring them to ice water. The skin should peel off easily.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, honey, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar. Mix with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze its juice over the peach slices. Toss the slices gently to prevent browning and to add a bit of tangy flavor.
Divide the peach slices evenly into four serving bowls or glasses.
Spoon the creamy mixture over the peaches, ensuring an even distribution in each bowl.
Garnish each serving with a sprig of mint for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of the juicy peaches and the rich creaminess. Optionally, you can chill the peaches and cream mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes for a cooler treat.
