Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Take the peaches. Start by washing your peaches and slicing them into vibrant, juicy pieces. Set aside.
- Make the cream. In a large mixing bowl, pour in your heavy cream. Beat until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Prep the crust. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until it resembles wet sand and holds together.
- Layer it up. In a serving dish, layer the graham cracker crust at the bottom, pressing it gently.
- Add the cream. Spoon a layer of whipped cream mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
- Peachy goodness. Add the sliced peaches on top of the cream, arranging them nicely.
- Repeat the layering process with any remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of peaches on top.
- Chill out. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours or overnight.
Notes
Serve with a sprig of mint or a dollop of whipped cream. This dish can be made ahead of time and with different fruits based on the season.
