Why You’ll Love This Peaches and Cream Dessert

My version of the viral Peaches and Cream Dessert is a fun twist on the classic combo. It’s such a silky, creamy and fruity dessert idea, and of course super healthy as well! Sometimes I also like to add in a scoop of 💪 protein powder to really amp up the health benefits. After freezing the peach and grating it, you’ll get the freshest peach “shaved ice” you’ve ever tasted. It’s 🧊 cold, fluffy and so perfectly peachy!

How to Prepare

🧊 Place a peach in a sandwich bag and freeze it for at least a few hours or overnight, until completely frozen.

🌡️When ready to make your dish, allow the peach to thaw for a minute or two.

🍯 Now, add the yogurt to a bowl and stir in vanilla and a drizzle of honey.

🍑 Using a zester or microplane grater, grate the frozen peach on top of the yogurt.

😋 Drizzle on some extra honey and enjoy!

Nonna’s Tip 🧊

This dessert is meant to be enjoyed right away as the frozen peaches will melt into the yogurt.
