Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by peeling and slicing your fresh peaches. Blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer to an ice-water bath to lift the skins effortlessly. Slice the peaches into thin wedges and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, pour in your milk or cream, adding half the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Heat over medium until warm, about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently. Avoid boiling.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, remaining sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually incorporate the warm milk mixture while whisking to prevent curdling. Return mixture to saucepan.
  4. Cook custard over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for about 5-7 minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  5. In individual dessert dishes, layer peach slices at the bottom, then pour the warm custard over the top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  6. When ready to serve, add optional toppings like mint leaves, powdered sugar, or chopped nuts. Enjoy your Peach Custard Dessert!

Notes

For the best flavor, use ripe peaches and allow enough chilling time. If lumps appear in the custard, strain through a fine mesh sieve while warm to achieve a smooth texture.
