A simple boozy peach dessert that's great for summer.

Ingredients

  • 2 peaches fresh, ripe (or canned peaches equivalent to 1 small peach per serving)
  • 1 oz cognac or brandy, good quality
  • 2 oz fresh cream (double cream in the UK, in the US, beat lightly for a thicker consistency)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Cut the peaches into slices and place in a serving bowl. Then, pour some cognac over the fruit (as much or as little as you like).
  • REFRIGERATE FOR AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR to let the fruit macerate. (If your peaches aren't very sweet or flavorful, add a tiny sprinkle of sugar).
  • When you're ready to serve, just pour some cream on top of the peach slices.

Notes

  • If your cream is super runny, as it often is in the US, just begin to whip it, just to thicken it a tiny bit. You still want it to be pourable.
