Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures the peaches will cook evenly and become beautifully tender. -
Prepare the Peaches:
Take the ripe peaches and slice them in half, carefully removing the seeds. In a bowl, toss the peach halves with softened butter, sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon powder. This will add a gentle sweetness and warmth to the fruit as it roasts. -
Roasting the Peaches:
Arrange the butter-coated peaches on a baking sheet, cut side up, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and tender. The sugar will caramelize slightly, giving the peaches a gorgeous golden hue. -
Prepare the Whipped Cream:
While the peaches are roasting, it’s time to whip up the cream. In a large mixing bowl or using the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the heavy whipping cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture using a whisk attachment (or by hand) until stiff peaks form. This should take around 3-4 minutes on high speed if using an electric mixer. The whipped cream should be light and fluffy, with a sweet vanilla aroma. -
Assemble the Dessert:
Once the peaches have roasted and cooled slightly, it’s time to assemble your dessert. In individual serving glasses or bowls, scoop a generous amount of whipped cream. Gently place a few roasted peach halves on top of the cream. For a delightful crunch, garnish with roasted walnuts, and for a fresh, vibrant touch, top with mint leaves. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve this luxurious Oven Roasted Peaches and Cream immediately, while the peaches are still warm. This dessert pairs beautifully with a hearty meal like Ultimate Potato Gratin Dauphinois or a refreshing Mung Bean Sprouts Salad with Brussel Sprouts and Pomegranate. The balance of sweet, creamy, and nutty flavors makes it the perfect ending to any meal.
Chef’s Tips:
-
Ripe Peaches: Make sure to select ripe peaches for this recipe. The softer the peach, the more tender and flavorful it will become after roasting.
-
Whipping the Cream: Keep the cream cold before whipping to ensure it whips up faster and holds its shape better. You can also chill the bowl and whisk attachment for even better results.
-
Alternative Garnish: If you want to add a bit of crunch and extra texture, try garnishing the dessert with slivered almonds or a drizzle of honey instead of walnuts.
-
Make Ahead: You can prepare the roasted peaches a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving with the whipped cream.
