Why is it that some foods get classified as nice or lovely? Take the main ingredients of this dish, for example. Peaches and honey are sweet little items. Personified, peaches and honey would be the most beautiful Southern Debutants. The belles of the ball, if you will (and I will).
Well, I'm changing this right now. Tommi of Brown Interior (click for recipe) made this week's selection and I am going to say that this ice cream is kick a**. For reals. Sweet, ripe peaches are mixed with a floral honey to make a lovely bad a** ice cream. To experiment a bit, I made a smaller second batch and added 1/4 cup of prosecco. Finally, in order to kick it up a notch, I made David Lebovitz's Caramelized White Chocolate to top it off.
HUZZAH.
I will blog more about that White Chocolate later in the week. Because it deserves a post of its own. I could eat that for days on end. UPDATE: Click here for the post and recipe.
I love combining two of the dessert world's geniuses to make the ultimate desserts.
This is the ultimate summer ice cream. And watch out, because it takes no prisoners.
Don't underestimate the power of the peach.

I'm so glad that you liked this. I'm not a fan of peaches, so I subbed plums and it came out beautiful but bitter :(

Adding the prosecco is nice! Saw your Tweet about it for Mormons. Hmmm, we say it's fine! They'll eat it up.
Posted by: The Duo Dishes | June 16, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Yummy! And such an awesome sauce! :)

you go girl...I love the prosecco idea....white chocolate sauce...yes, that definitely deserves a post of its own.
Posted by: Mary | June 16, 2009 at 12:49 PM
How so refined! Elegant and delicate at the same time, although is was a kick a** ice cream like you say, adding the bellini part was a nice touch. Nice going!
P.s.: The word for peach in French is the same as fishing. Like "carrot" and "karat" or "cellar" and "seller", in English, except it even is written the same.

Prosecco - you are my hero. Although I think I say that to you every week - you never disappoint!
Posted by: Megan | June 16, 2009 at 01:42 PM
