Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized fresh peaches
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges. You can peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds texture and color.
Place the peach slices in a medium-sized bowl and sprinkle with granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and juices to release.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer set on medium speed, whip the cream until it begins to thicken.
Add the powdered sugar to the cream and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as the cream can quickly turn into butter.
To assemble, divide the macerated peach slices evenly among four serving bowls or glasses.
Top each serving of peaches with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and a hint of herbal freshness, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this simple yet satisfying dessert!
