- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 0.25 cup Caramel sauce (optional)
- 4 sprigs Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half and remove the pits. Slice each half into thick wedges.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
3. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the sugar is dissolved and forms a glossy sauce, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the peach slices to the skillet, and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until the peaches are caramelized and slightly soft.
5. While the peaches are cooking, toast the pecans in a separate dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
6. In the skillet with the peaches, stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently mix to coat the peaches in the flavorful sauce.
7. Assemble the sundaes: Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in each serving bowl or glass.
8. Spoon the warm caramelized peaches over the ice cream.
9. Sprinkle the toasted pecans generously over the peaches.
10. Top the sundaes with a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
