Food processor or blender for peach puree
-
1 lb. loaf pan for freezing ice cream
-
Piping bag
-
Cling wrap
-
2D or 1M piping tip
-
Blow torch
Ingredients:
-
Favorite vanilla cake recipe made in a sheet pan or store bought pound cake
-
Peach Ice cream (recipe below)
-
4 -5 Pearson Farm peaches to make about 1 cup peach puree
-
2 cups heavy whipping cream
-
14 oz (396 g) condensed milk
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup chopped pecans
-
Swiss Meringue (recipe below)
-
200 g egg whites
-
400 g sugar
-
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Peach Ice cream
Line your loaf pan with cling wrap with some hanging off the sides and set aside.
Peel and chop peaches and puree in food processor or blender.
Whip cream till peaks form.
Add condensed milk and vanilla extract and mix.
Add the peach puree and mix.
Add the chopped pecans.
Pour into prepared pan leaving a little space on top for cake later and freeze for at least 6 hours. Overnight is best.
Assembly 1
Once ice cream is frozen, take out of pan.
Line pan with cling wrap again.
Put one layer of cake in the bottom, cut to size.
Add the ice cream on top.
Add one more layer of cake on top.
Swiss Meringue
Boil water in a saucepan.
Combine the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in your mixer bowl.
Put your bowl over the hot water and mix till sugar is dissolved and mixture is hot to touch (don't cook the eggs!)
Then with a whisk attachment, whisk till nice and stiff and fluffy.
Assembly 2
Add meringue to a piping bag fitted with a 2 D tip. If you want to skip this step, you can use a spatula to spoon meringue all over and use a palette knife to make pretty swirls.
Take ice cream and cake out of pan and put on your serving dish.
Pipe meringue roses all over (the ice cream and cake should be frozen hard at this point.) Torch with blow torch till golden brown and serve.
Enjoy!
