Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons butter (optional for sautéing)
- 2 teaspoons honey (optional for drizzle)
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them in half, removing the pits. Slice each half into wedges, about 4-6 wedges per peach depending on its size.
If you prefer warm peaches, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peach wedges and sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly and develop a light caramelized surface. Remove from heat and set aside. This step is optional; you can also use fresh raw peaches for a brighter taste.
In a medium mixing bowl, pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream may become grainy.
To serve, divide the peach wedges evenly into 4 serving bowls or plates. Top each portion with a dollop of the cinnamon cream.
Optionally drizzle a small amount of honey over the peaches and cream for added sweetness. Garnish with a mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful combination of flavors and textures!
