Ingredients
- 6 large ripe peaches
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Directions
- Wash and peel the peaches. Slice them into thin wedges.
- In a bowl, mix the sliced peaches with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices.
- In a separate bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish to form a crust.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches onto the graham cracker crust, leaving behind any excess juice.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This will be the whipped cream topping for the dessert.
- Spread the whipped cream over the peaches, covering them completely. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for added freshness and presentation.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the golden rays of peach delight!
