How to Make Peach Heaven

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 6-8 ripe peaches (about 4 cups peeled and sliced), and blanch for 30 seconds to loosen the skins. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Peel and slice the peaches.
  2. Preheat your oven's broiler. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, arrange the sliced peaches to fill about half the dish's height.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional).
  4. Gently spread the whipped cream evenly over the peaches. Cover the dish and freeze for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. Remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Sprinkle 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar evenly over the whipped cream.
  6. Place the baking dish on the highest rack in your preheated broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the brown sugar is melted and bubbly and the cream is lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy this Peach Heaven dessert!
