dessert essentials: donna's peaches & ice cream
I have a dear friend who is having a birthday tomorrow (Donna), so I came up with a dessert to celebrate her BIG day. Yummy peaches, poached in wine and coconut sugar, topped with some homemade French vanilla ice cream, and dusted with a bit of Vietnamese cinnamon. Is it decadent, yes… but oh so yummy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make dessert essentials: donna's peaches & ice cream
-
1PREP/PREPARE
-
2Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
-
3Add all the ingredients, except the peaches, to a pan, and bring to a simmer.
-
4Chef’s Note: The pan needs to be big enough to hold the peaches in a single layer.
-
5When the liquid begins to simmer, add the peaches, stem-side-up.
-
6Cover and lightly simmer for 8 minutes.
-
7Turn the peaches over, cover, and simmer for an additional 8 minutes.
-
8Remove the peaches, allow to cool and then remove the skins.
-
9Chef’s Tip: I find the best way to remove the skins is to place them under running water, and gently rub the skin off, using your fingers.
-
10While the peaches are cooling, bring the sauce up to a light boil, and reduce by half, about 12 – 15 minutes.
-
11Place the peaches in a bowl, pour on the reduced sauce, and allow to come to room temperature.
-
12PLATE/PRESENT
-
13Place in a bowl, at room temperature, add some ice cream, drizzle with that yummy sauce, and dust with some cinnamon. Enjoy.
-
14Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
