Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large ripe peaches, sliced
- 8 oz (cream cheese, softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Honey or maple syrup for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preparing the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Whipping the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy filling.
- Assembling the Peach Salad: Layer sliced peaches in a serving dish or individual glasses. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the peaches, spreading evenly. Repeat layers if desired for a layered effect.
- Garnishing and Serving: Top with sliced almonds and fresh mint leaves. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For a lighter version, substitute some of the cream or sugar with Greek yogurt or sugar-free alternatives.
- Garnish with toasted coconut or extra nuts for added texture and flavor.
- This salad can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
