Peaches & Cream

We made this for dessert a few days ago. It was really really good.

Peaches and Cream
with Angel Food Brulee

2 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1 T sugar
1 T grand marnier (double oj for the kiddies and pregos)
1 T orange juice
1/2 t vanilla
dash cinnamon
Toss together, cover & refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together:
4 T soft unsalted butter
4 T brown sugar
dash cinnamon

Whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 3 T powdered sugar and 1 t vanilla
(or use some low-cal cool whip if that's the way you role) Also, vanilla ice cream is a delightful option.

Slice angel food cake into slices one inch thick. Spread brown sugar butter on one (or both, if that's how you role) side. Cook angel food quickly in a very hot non-stick skillet. The idea is to caramelize the sugar on the bread for the creme brulee "burnt sugar" effect.

Pile cold peaches onto warm bread, top with whipped cream and enjoy!



ps... I totally made up Angel Food Brulee, I don't care what anyone says!
