Now, for the cream part, it’s important too. You could stop before adding it but then you would have candied peaches, which are dripping with deliciousness too. If you want Candied Peaches and Cream you must use the fun squirty can of whipped cream and pipe a little dollop of whipped cream right on the top. Just make sure it has the “Real Seal” so you know it’s the real deal! (I’m a dairy farmer that’s important to me!)
I bet you can remember how to make Candied Peaches and Cream without a recipe, just in case here’s the printable!
Candied Peaches and Cream
Ingredients
- 1 peach
- 1 tsp brown sugar I used dark
- 1/2 tsp butter
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- 2 T. whipped cream
- Optional
- coconut pecans, granola, mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut peach in half and remove stone.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set peaches inside up on baking sheet.
- Spoon brown sugar into the "pit hole" in each half of the peach.
- Top brown sugar with a small slice of butter.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake for 5 minutes.
- Move rack a little lower from the broiler than normal. Mine was 8 inches away. Turn oven to broil.
- Broil peaches for until the brown sugar has finished caramelizing. Watch close. Sugar burns easily.
- Top with whipped cream
- Serve
Fresh peaches are better than canned peaches any day of the week. It is neat we have so much fresh fruit in the supermarkets we can eat them even in the winter months.
I wish we could get fresh peaches all year long. Then we wouldn’t have to gorge on them so much when they are in season! It’s true though, we can get other yummy fruit all winter long!
Yum! I’m gonna try this with the fresh peaches I have sitting on the counter. Thanks Amy!
I bet your kids are going to love them! How can you go wrong with butter and brown sugar?
We loved this:) I bought more peaches today, just for this recipe. But this time I made sure to buy whipped cream! We were out . . . but it was still good with out it!!
Of course you were out of whipped cream, Pyper! You can’t beat a recipe this easy and tasty!
It’s really amazing how fruit can be as much a candy as the stuff you buy in packages. Tried these last night — with pecans! Holy moly, my wife and I almost made ourselves second helpings. Which is fine, since we’ll make them again tonight 🙂
Joe, eating fruit that tastes like candy is a bonus! In my area, peach season is almost over. My kids are bummed because they love eating these for an after school snack. I love it to because it’s so quick for me to make and since it’s fruit I’m calling it healthy:)
I’m gonna try this for dessert tonight
Yay! It’s the easiest dessert in the world to make and so yummy! Now I’m really jealous you already have fresh peaches! We’re still a month or so away! Enjoy!
