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 can't wait for the post about the carmelized white chocolate sauce. I thought the peach ice cream was pretty good, but it would be amazing with a sauce like that!
