Description
At its core, this dessert is an elevated version of the classic American ice cream sundae. Instead of relying on standard chocolate syrup or synthetic fruit toppings, it utilizes fresh, whole ingredients to build layers of flavor and texture. The foundation consists of premium vanilla ice cream, which acts as a creamy, cool canvas. On top of this canvas, warm, pan-seared peaches are layered, having been gently cooked until they are soft, translucent, and bursting with natural juices.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1–2 tsp chili flakes or hot honey
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or granola
- 2 tbsp chopped pecans or almonds
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Fresh mint for garnish
