Ever had a dinner party where you really wanted to impress? Maybe a first date? Or meeting your partner’s parents? This simple dessert is so classy that it will seem like you spent hours cooking, when, in reality, it all comes together in just a few minutes.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 whole ripe peaches
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 tablespoon confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract/vanilla bean paste
Method:
- Slice the peaches in half; keeping on the skin if you prefer.
- Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Continue to cook for about 10 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter is toasty and golden brown. Add in the brown sugar and stir until melted.
- Place the peaches, flesh side down, in the pan and fry until they caramelize. Flip them over and do the same on the other side.
- Combine the cream, mascarpone, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla in a bowl.
- Serve the peaches warm with a dollop of mascarpone cream on top.
