PECHE
SUPREME
Serves 4
21/2 loaf pound cake
2 tablespoons butter
3 large freestone peaches, ripe
1/3 cup almonds
1/3 cup pecan halves
1 oz. cream cheese
6 tablespoons (approximately 1/3 jar) Caramel Sin
Use a 3-inch metal ring mold to cut 4 1/2-inch-thick rounds of pound
cake. Sauté rounds in 1 tablespoon butter until golden brown.
Set aside. Cut 2 of the peaches in half and remove the stones. Sauté
cut sides of peaches in 1 tablespoon butter until golden brown. Set
aside.
In a food
processor fitted with the steel blade, chop almonds and pecans. Add
cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of Caramel Sin and process until a
dough like mixture is formed. Chop remaining peach into chunks and
“pulse” into mixture until fully incorporated (be careful
not to puree).
Place the ring mold on a freezer proof surface and place one of the
pound cake rounds gently into the bottom. Fill the remainder of the
mold with 1/4 of the peach/nut mixture. Use the back of a spoon to
tamp the mixture flat. Carefully remove the ring mold. Repeat 3 times.
Freeze for 15-20 minutes until set. Remove from freezer and plate.
Put a peach half, cut side down, on top of each.
Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of Caramel Sin over a water bath
on the stovetop or in the microwave. Spoon Caramel Sin carefully over
the top of each peach to form a thin coating.
When you want to impress your guests, this is the easy way to
do it. A do-ahead dessert that will satisfy completely.
