Fruit is one of the most overlooked desserts in my opinion. I’m not really sure why few things are as refreshing as a fruit salad on a piping hot summer day or as comforting as an apple pie when the temperatures drop. This summer I plan to grill every fruit that I can get my mitts on that can withstand a little heat! As part of my 4th of July party planning I have decided on serving grilled peaches as one of my desserts. Rather than serve just simply grilled peaches I have included a cloud of fresh whipped cream infused with cinnamon sugar. This gives the recipe a little something more than expected without adding to the time or expense. The recipe is so simple and it is as easy to prepare them for 2 as it is for 50 (well sort of!). Below is a recipe for 4 peaches which will easily serve 4 good eaters or 8 dessert samplers.
Ingredients:
4 – Large Ripe Peaches (I like Southern Style)
1/2 cup – Granular Sugar
2 Tablespoons – Cinnamon
1 pint – Heavy Cream
How to Prepare
Halve peaches and discard pit – In a small mixing bowl combine sugar and cinnamon – mix well and sprinkle over peach face generously – reserve remaining cinnamon sugar mixture – grill peaches till tender – sugar mixture carmelizes and grill marks are formed – remove from grill – combine heavy cream and 1/2 of remaining sugar mixture and begin whipping with electric mixer (a chilled bowl and beaters help cream whip faster) add remaining cinnamon sugar mixture until desired sweetness is achieved. Place peaches on a serving dish and add a cloud of whipped cream to each. Instant enjoyment!!
