Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Use a small spoon to scoop out a bit of the flesh from the center to create a cavity large enough for the filling. Set the peach halves aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and the ground cinnamon, stirring until the sugar dissolves and a caramel sauce forms. Remove from heat.
Brush the caramel sauce onto the cut sides of each peach half, reserving extra sauce for later.
In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, honey, and ground cayenne pepper. Mix well.
Stuff each peach half with the graham cracker mixture, gently pressing it into the cavity to ensure it stays in place.
Place the peaches in an oven-safe baking dish, cut side up. Dot each peach half with a small piece of the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the topping is golden brown.
While the peaches are baking, prepare the bourbon sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the reserved caramel sauce and bourbon. Heat over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
Remove the peaches from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Drizzle the bourbon sauce over each peach half just before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy the bold flavors of Double Dare Peaches!
