Ingredients

15 mins
3 servings
  1. 1 1/2Peaches, cut in half and de-stoned
  2. 1/3 cupSugar
  3. 1/4 cupWater
  4. 1Chopped up Vanilla Pod
  5. 1/4 cupBourbon (your brand of choice. I use Jim Beam)
  6. 1 cupGood quality French Vanilla Ice Cream
  7. 1 cupFresh Mascarpone
  8. 3 tsp(heaped) of Castor (superfine) Sugar

Cooking Instructions

15 mins
  1. 1

    Get out a saute pan or large frypan.

  2. 2

    In the pan, put the water, first measure of sugar and the chopped up vanilla pod and bring up to a simmer and make a sugar syrup. once sugar has dissolved simmer for 3 minutes..

  3. 3

    Add the Bourbon in to the pan and bring it back to a simmer. Add the cut peaches to the simmering syrup skin side down for 5 minutes. then flip them over and simmer another 3 minutes. The syrup should be dark and thick by this stage. Remove the peaches and carefully peel off the skin. Place peaches back in syrup and let them sit in it.

  4. 4

    Get 3 ramekins and place a peach half in each of the 3 ramekins, cut side up, and drizzle over two tsp of the syrup over each

  5. 5

    Then put a 1/3 cup of Ice Cream in each ramekin on top of the fruit, flattening it down a bit.

  6. 6

    Next place a 1/3 cup of Mascarpone in each ramekin and smooth the top over with a spatula or palette knife level with top of the ramekin.

  7. 7

    Place a heaped tsp of the castor (superfine) sugar on top of each ice cream ramekin. spread carefully over until evenly covered.

  8. 8

    Blowtorch the top until the sugar has caramelised. if you don't have a blowtorch, you can stick it under a grill(broiler) keeping a close eye on it that it doesn't burn

  9. 9

    Stand for one minute on bench before serving.

  10. 10

    Done.

I was born at a very young age in London, England but came to my tiny piece of santuary in the Pacific when I was barely walking.Self taught myself ethnic cooking such as Indian, Moroccan and Thai and found a love of baking, especially French inspired desserts.I cook for friends and...well...anyone that wants to eat really lol.I work day in-day out with people that have committed serious crimes and cooking helps me refocus my energies when I've had a rough day.Cooking is my 'happy place'.......I find my zen when I'm pulling together a dish.I love the outdoors, swimming in the ocean and lakes over here, I'm a keen photographer, paint abstracts when the mood grips me and I'm a multiple papercut survivor!My mantra...'If you want what you've never had...you have to do what you've never done'
