How to Make Deep Fried Peaches

  1. Blanch and peel 4 ripe peaches. If using the filled variation, carefully cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Fill each cavity with 1 amaretto cookie or 2 tablespoons of vanilla ice cream. Gently put the peach halves back together.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 cup milk.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients (egg and milk mixture) into the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined. Add a splash more milk if the batter is too thick.
  6. Pour vegetable oil (about 3-4 inches deep) into a large, deep saucepan or deep fryer. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
  7. Dip each peach into the flour (step 2), then dredge in the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Carefully place 3 peaches at a time into the hot oil, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  9. Remove the fried peaches with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  10. Serve immediately. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and enjoy!
