Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 3 large Peaches, fresh or canned (drained and sliced)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for custard)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for custard)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 cups of granulated sugar. Cut in the 0.75 cups of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
While the crust is baking, prepare the custard. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 0.5 cups of granulated sugar until smooth and fully combined.
Slice the peaches into thin wedges. If using canned peaches, make sure they are well-drained.
Arrange the peach slices evenly over the partially baked crust.
Pour the custard mixture over the peaches, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake the assembled dish at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes or until the custard is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully set the custard.
Before serving, optionally sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for added sweetness and visual appeal.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Peach Custard Squares!
