For an extra touch of sophistication, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of almond extract to the heavy cream before chilling. If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half or crème fraîche for some of the heavy cream. Feel free to experiment with different types of peaches, such as white peaches or donut peaches, for a unique twist on this classic dessert. To prevent browning, toss the sliced peaches with a squeeze of lemon juice before simmering them in the syrup.

01 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Peaches (5 minutes): Halve each peach along its natural crease, twist to separate, and remove the pit. Peel the peach halves and slice them thinly. Halve the slices to yield approximately 2 cups of perfectly sized peach pieces.
02 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Create the Peach Syrup (5 minutes): In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves and a light syrup forms (about 3 minutes). Add the sliced peaches and stir gently to coat them evenly with the syrup. Return the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and transfer the peach mixture to a bowl to cool for 15-20 minutes.
03 Step
Recipe View 3 hrs Combine and Chill (3 hours +): Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooled peaches to a large bowl, leaving the simple syrup behind (discard or reserve the syrup for another use). Pour the chilled heavy cream over the peaches and stir gently to combine. Divide the mixture evenly among six serving glasses or bowls. Cover each serving with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cream to fully absorb the exquisite peach flavor.
