Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh peaches
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 box (3.4 ounces) vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 6 sheets graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 sprigs mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the peaches. Slice them thinly and toss them in a bowl with granulated sugar. Set aside for 10 minutes to release their juices.
Prepare the vanilla pudding by whisking the pudding mix and milk together in a medium-sized bowl for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Let it set for 5 minutes.
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small pan or microwave. Mix the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and ground cinnamon in a bowl until the crumbs are evenly coated.
In a serving dish or small dessert cups, begin assembling the dessert. Start with a layer of graham cracker crumble at the bottom.
Add a layer of vanilla pudding over the graham cracker crumble.
Layer the sliced peaches on top of the pudding. Repeat the layers (graham cracker crumble, pudding, peaches) until the serving dish is filled or all ingredients are used up, ensuring the top layer is peaches.
Dollop whipped cream on top of each serving, then drizzle a small amount of the sugary peach juice for added flavor.
Optional: Garnish with a sprig of mint for a fresh and elegant touch.
Chill the layered peach dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
