Shaved Frozen Peaches & Cream

This is a brilliant way to save and use the abundance of fresh summer peaches. Freeze the peaches (they last for a long time in the freezer), then when frozen and shaved, the peaches create a shaved ice like texture with all the delicious sweetness and flavor of the ripe peach.
For the cream part it can be whipped cream or yogurt or a combo of both. You can make your own whipped cream or use whipped topping, and then personally we like to thicken the texture and make the flavors a little less sweet by mixing in plain yogurt. Mix in whatever ratio you like, from all whipped cream to all yogurt, or any combo of them that is to your liking.
The freezing might not take a full 24 hours, but you do want to make sure they are frozen rock solid. 24 hours is always a good safe timing. If you don't use all the peach when shaving, place the remaining peach back in the freezer to keep for the next time.

  • Shave the frozen peach on top of the cream mix with a very fine grater or microplane. Shave as much as you like. Just a note about the shaver/grater: if you're using a regular cheese grater, the peach texture won't be as fine and fluffy. The peach texture and flavor will still be tasty, but it won’t be the fluffy, melt in your mouth texture that a microplane or ribbon grater will give you.
