Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream or whipped topping
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Optional: fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by whipping the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. For convenience, store-bought whipped topping can be used as an alternative.
- In a serving dish or individual cups, layer sliced peaches with whipped cream. Start with peaches, then add a dollop of whipped cream, repeating until the dish is filled.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs generously over the top of each serving. For added flavor, lightly toast the crumbs beforehand.
- Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Garnish with fresh mint before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches for vibrant flavor or canned peaches for convenience. Make sure to drain canned peaches before layering.
- For dairy-free options, substitute heavy cream with coconut whipped cream and use dairy-free graham crackers or cookies.
- This dessert can be prepared ahead of time; refrigerate for best flavor and texture.
- Enhance the presentation with chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey on top before serving.
