Easy Peaches and Cream Dessert Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 medium fresh peaches, or as needed
• 0.33 cup white sugar, or to taste
• 0.25 cup water
• 1.5 cups heavy cream

Instructions

1. Halve each peach along the natural crease, twist to separate, and remove the pit. Peel the peach halves and slice. Cut the slices in half to yield approximately 2 cups of sliced peaches.
2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring sugar and water to a boil. Continue boiling until a syrup forms, around 3 minutes. Add the peaches and stir to coat them evenly. Return the syrup to a gentle simmer for about 1 minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately and transfer the peach mixture to a bowl to cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches to a large bowl, leaving the syrup behind (discard or save for another use). Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently to combine. Divide the peach and cream mixture evenly among six serving glasses or bowls. Cover each serving with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and the cream has fully absorbed the peach flavor.
