Ginger Peach Dessert Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan.
• Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well. Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest. Add half of the flour mixture and beat on medium speed to combine. Blend in the sour cream and milk; stir in the remaining flour mixture. Fold in the mint, basil, ginger, and peaches and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425*.
• Evenly distribute the peach slices in the bottom of an unoiled nonreactive 9-inch pie pan or 8-inch square baking dish.
• Sprinkle the peaches with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
• Top with the crumbled gingersnaps.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, until the peaches are bubbling and tender when pierced with a fork.
• Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with frozen yogurt.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Begin by making the ginger simple syrup. Peel and grate the ginger. Add it together with the sugar and cold water to a saucepan. Bring it to the boil and stir until the sugar dissolves. Cover and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain, discard ginger pieces and set simple syrup aside.
• In a blender add frozen peaches and ginger simple syrup. Blend until completely pureed then place into the refrigerator to cool.
• For serving:
• Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker and fill half way with peach puree. Top off with Champagne and shake vigorously to combine. Pour into Champagne glasses and repeat process as needed.

Steps:

• For the crust: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, salt and fresh ginger in a food processor. Pulse to mix everything, about 8 times. Scatter the cold butter pieces all around the flour mixture. Pulse to help break up the butter, about 6 times. Add the egg and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
• Pour the mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper. Knead the dough until it comes together and there are no dry spots. Form the dough into a ball and cut it in half. Shape each half into a ball then place each ball between 2 sheets of parchment. Roll each ball flat into a disk about 1/8 inch thick between the parchment. Keep each disk between the parchment and refrigerate until chilled. (This is a good time to prepare the remaining ingredients.)
• Working with the first chilled disk (keep the second in the fridge), cut out rounds to fill three 4-inch nonstick mini tart pans with removable bottoms.
• Press 1 round of dough into the bottom and up the side of a tart pan, then use a paring knife to trim the excess pastry. Repeat with the second disk. Place all 6 filled tart pans in the freezer while you make the filling.
• For the filling: Combine the peaches, granulated sugar, flour, melted butter, and minced candied ginger in a large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared tart shells and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the bottom of the crust is cooked through.
• Let cool on a wire rack and brush each tart with the jam.
• For serving: Garnish each tart with the candied ginger, if desired. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Steps:

• Cook peaches in a large pot of boiling water 1 minute, then submerge in ice water. Slip off skins. Slice into 1/4" wedges.
• Bring peaches and 3 cups ginger beer to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until peaches are fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
• To assemble floats, divide peaches among tall glasses and pour 1 Tbsp. poaching liquid over each; reserve remaining poaching liquid for another use. Top with 2 scoops of ice cream, then pour remaining 3 cups ginger beer over. Serve with spoons and straws.
• Do Ahead
• Peaches can be poached up to 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.

Steps:

• Spread frozen yogurt over cooled crust. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Spread whipped topping over frozen yogurt; sprinkle with finely chopped pecans. Freeze about 4 hours or until firm.
• To serve, let stand at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes. Cut dessert into squares. Top each square with 2 or 3 peach slices.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine peach slices and 1/4 cup sugar; cover and refrigerate. Line a greased 9-in. square baking pan with waxed paper; set aside. For topping, combine flour and brown sugar in a small bowl; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.

Gently peel off waxed paper. Cool crumb side up on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature., Just before serving, beat cream in a small mixing bowl until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Cut cake into nine squares. Split each square horizontally. Place bottom half on serving plate; top with 1/4 cup peach slices.
