In my recent post for frozen peaches and cream "dumplings", I had asked my fellow foodies to join me in a 5-Star Makeover Challenge and create their own twists on peaches and cream. Please enjoy their wonderful creations!
PEACHES AND CREAM PUFFS by Laura, Real Mom Kitchen.
This is a great dessert recipe that is easy to make and delicious! Laura says, "The flaky puff pastry went well with the sweet cream cheese mixture, whipped cream and the slight tartness from the peaches."
GRILLED PEACHES WITH BELLINI ZABAGLIONE by Greg, Sippity Sup.
Greg gives us useful information about peaches and zabaglione in a fun storytelling way, and the resulting dish, a perfectly sweet grilled peach immersed in a bellini zabaglione "cocktail", is just amazing!
PEACH FROZEN YOGURT by Therese-Marie, Feasting on ... Glutein-free pixels.
This is a healthier version of fresh peach frozen yogurt with low fat yogurt and agave nectar. Therese-Marie says, "My results were smooth, creamy with a natural tang from the yogurt and soft sweetness from the peaches and the Agave Nectar. Best of all the taste was fresh, fragrant and each cool spoonful was a precious bit of summer, frozen in time for a moment, then melting on my tongue."
PEACHES ‘N CREAM PIE, Jessica, Food Mayhem
This luscious pie is just perfect. And the wonderful thing about it that this pie is meant to be made a day ahead and chilled to set, with no reheating required for serving. Great recipe to bookmark for the upcoming holidays!
PEACHES AND "VLA" ON A VANILLA CAKE by Selba, Selby's Food Corner.
"Vla" is a Dutch word for cornstarch pudding, or custard, and for this makeover, Selba has substituted a light pudding for cream, to pair with peaches and a scrumptious vanilla cake.
PEACHES AND CREAM FRENCH TOAST SANDWICHES WITH WARM PEACH COMPOTE by Faith, Thought 4 Food.
This is an ultimate French toast, stuffed with Neufchatel cheese and fresh local peaches and topped with a delicious compote of peaches and golden raisins. The combination of creamy tangy Neufchatel cheese and sweet peaches sounds incredible!
PEACH CLAFOUTIS by Angela, Spinach Tiger
Angela's makeover involves both peaches & cream and a traditional clafoutis that is typically prepared with cherries. Adding nutmeg to this peach dish is a terrific idea. Who wouldn't love to wake up to this heavenly peach clafoutis every morning?!
PEACHES AND CREAM TWO WAYS: DOUGHBALL AND TEMPURA by MomGateway
This makeover two ways features a cold creamy filling of peaches, sour cream, and brown sugar inside hot fried biscuit dough and tempura. The contrast in temperatures and the play on textures is very intriguing!
FRESH PEACH ICE CREAM by Lo, Burp! Where Food Happens
This whipped peach ice cream made from fresh peaches is wonderfully light and airy. It sounds perfectly refreshing!
