Peach Cobbler With Buttermilk Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the butter in a 12-inch round cast-iron skillet or a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and place in the preheating oven to just melt the butter, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk the baking mix, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Toss the brown sugar and peaches together in a separate medium bowl and set aside.
• Remove the pan from the oven and swirl the butter or use a pastry brush to coat the bottom and sides of the pan, then pour the melted butter into the batter. Whisk until combined, then pour the batter into the buttered pan. Spoon the peaches and brown sugar syrup evenly over the top of the batter.
• Bake until golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling, 45 to 55 minutes.
• Let cool to room temperature before serving with ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Generously butter a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish. Place the sliced peaches in the dish and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and flour. Mix gently and spread evenly again. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile combine all dry ingredients for cobbler crust in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers, to make the texture like coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir to form a soft dough.
• Remove fruit from oven and drop rounded spoonfuls of dough on top. Sprinkle with last tablespoon of brown sugar and return to oven. Bake until fruit is bubbly and crust topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream.

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream, milk, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar,salt and vanilla bean (if you are using 1 teaspoon vanilla, do not add here) uncovered to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Simmer about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 20 minutes. (This standing time will infuse the cream with vanilla flavor; skip it if not using vanilla bean.) Remove and discard vanilla bean.
• In medium bowl, beat 1/3 cup granulated sugar and egg yolks with wire whisk 3 minutes or until yolks lighten to lemon yellow. Ladle about 1 cup warm cream mixture into egg yolks and beat with wire whisk to combine. Repeat with another cup of cream mixture. Add yolk mixture to remaining cream mixture in saucepan.
• Stir constantly with rubber spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom of pan. Heat over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly and coats back of metal spoon. (Do not boil or overheat mixture because eggs will curdle.) Pour into medium bowl, using a strainer if there are any lumps. (If using 1 teaspoon vanilla instead of vanilla bean, add it now.) Cover with plastic wrap, pushing wrap onto custard surface to prevent film from forming. Cool at room temperature 15 minutes. Refrigerate at least 8 hours but no more than 24 hours. Place ice-cream maker bowl in freezer.
• (If using frozen peaches, skip step 4.) In 4-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 quarts water to boiling. Add fresh peaches and allow them to bob in water 30 seconds. Use slotted spoon or strainer to remove peaches and immediately plunge into bowl of ice water to cool. Remove skins from peaches. Cut peaches in half and twist to separate halves. Remove and discard pits. Cut each peach half into 4 pieces.
• In bowl of food processor, pulse peaches, lemon juice and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar until peaches are roughly chopped but not pureed (you are aiming for a chunky peach sauce). Stir in vodka if using. You should have about 2 cups chopped peaches. Refrigerated chopped peaches until cold, at least 1 hour.
• Place large bowl in freezer at least 1 hour before churning ice cream. Strain the chilled peaches and collect any accumulated juice in a medium bowl. Combine the peach liquid with the cold ice cream custard mixture and stir well. Refrigerate drained peaches until needed. Freeze custard in ice-cream maker following manufacturer's directions until thick (like soft-serve ice cream). Scrape ice cream from ice-cream maker into the cold bowl. Quickly add chopped peaches; gently stir until peaches are evenly distributed.
• Smooth top of ice cream flat and cover directly with plastic wrap. Cover top of bowl with more plastic wrap and then with foil. Freeze ice cream 8 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking parchment paper; set aside.
• In bowl of food processor, pulse all topping ingredients 8 times or until nuts and butter are well mixed and crumbly.
• Spread crumbs evenly on parchment in pan. Bake 8 minutes and then stir well. Bake 8 minutes longer or until crumbs are golden and crunchy. Do not let crumbs burn. There should be some large crumbs and some small; break up some of the larger chunks if necessary. Cool pan completely on wire rack.
• Before serving, remove ice cream from freezer and place in refrigerator about 30 minutes to soften. To serve, scoop ice cream into serving bowls and sprinkle with topping. Ice cream can be stored tightly covered up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Place peaches in a food processor; process until smooth. Add sugars, lemon juice, vanilla and salt; process until blended., In a large bowl, mix buttermilk and cream. Stir in peach mixture. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour or until cold., Fill cylinder of ice cream maker no more than two-thirds full. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions, refrigerating any remaining mixture to process later. Transfer ice cream to freezer containers, allowing headspace for expansion. Freeze 2-4 hours or until firm. Let ice cream stand at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake rounds and set aside.
• To Make the Pound Cake:.
• Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, whisk or sift together the flour baking soda and salt. Add to the butter mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the sour cream. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and gave them a few taps on the counter to dislodge any air bubbles. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 18 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• To Make the Peach Jam Layer:.
• In a large bowl, stir together the preserves, peaches, and bourbon if using. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until ready to use.
• To Make the Cobbler Biscuit Pieces:.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add in the cold butter and work with your hands or a pastry blender until the butter resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out the batter onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter on top and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• To Assemble the Peach Ice Cream Layers:.
• Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften a bit. Then transfer to a large bowl. Fold in the peaches and preserves gently, until streaked throughout the vanilla ice cream. Pour into a 9-inch round cake pan that has been lined with plastic wrap. Press the peach ice cream down into a smooth even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Pour the softened peach sorbet into a 9-inch round cake pan that has been lined with plastic wrap. Press down into a smooth even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
• To Make the Caramel:.
• Place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan, set over medium-high heat. Gently swirl the pan constantly, without actually stirring the mixture, and cook until it becomes a dark amber color. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. It'll bubble up and get thick, but keep stirring until smooth. Whisk in the bourbon vanilla bean seeds and salt. Pour into a jar and allow to cool down to room temperature. Once cool, store in the fridge until ready to use.
• To Assemble the Cake:.
• Line the sides of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, to create high sides. Trim the top of the cooled pound cake layers to even them out. Place one layer of pound cake, upside down, into the spring-form pan. Pour half of the peach jam over the cake layer and spread out evenly. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Crumble a few of the biscuits and sprinkle them evenly over the jam layer. Carefully remove the peach ice cream from the cake pan and remove the plastic wrap. Place into the spring form pan on top of the cobbler layer. Then place the second pound cake layer inches Pour the remaining peach jam over the cake and spread out evenly. Chill in the fridge until firm, about 1 hour. Top with more crumbled cobbler biscuits and then finally the peach sorbet layer. Freeze once more until firm, about 3 hours.
• To Make the Butter Cream:.
• Beat the butter until light and fluffy about 5 minutes. Add in the powdered sugar, a cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the milk, vanilla extract and salt. Beat on high until creamy and smooth. Divide the buttercream into 3 separate bowls. Dye one a dark orange. One a lighter orange and then leave one white. Transfer each to disposable piping bags.
• Remove the cake from the freezer and then carefully remove it from the springform pan, discarding the parchment paper from the sides. Starting from the bottom of the cake, pipe out two rows of dark orange buttercream all around the cake. Then pipe out two rows of the lighter orange buttercream around the cake, and then pipe out 2 rows of white buttercream around the sides and top of the cake. Pipe out light orange buttercream on the top center of the cake.
• Using an offset spatula or a bench scraper, smooth out the buttercream on the sides and bottom. Coat the bottom of the cake with crumbled cobbler biscuits. Return to the freezer while you prepare the topping.
• To Grill the Peaches:.
• Place a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat, once hot, grease with canola oil and place the peach halves on top, cut side down. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until grill marks form. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool down completely. Slice them in half, leaving two intact.
• To Decorate the Top of the Cake:.
• Drizzle the edges of the cake with the caramel sauce so that it drips down the sides. Then arrange the grilled peaches on top along with some crumbled cobbler biscuit pieces. Cut and serve immediately or place in freezer until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl. Stir cream and remaining sugar together in a saucepan over low heat; bring to a simmer, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Slowly pour cream mixture into egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
• Return mixture to the saucepan; cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then whisk in buttermilk, vanilla, and salt. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes. Chill at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for the cobbler.
• Wash the fuzz off of the peaches and cut into wedges. Toss peach wedges with 1/2 cup sugar.
• Place butter in the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish and melt it in the oven, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in half-and-half, vanilla, and almond extract to form a loose batter; pour into baking dish over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon peaches evenly over batter, without stirring.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and peaches are tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• Make the pastry: Set aside a small bowl of ice water. On a work surface, mound flour, salt and sugar, and mix to blend. Top with frozen butter and lard or shortening, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse meal; some large pieces of the fats should still be visible.
• Quickly form a mound and, with your finger, draw a trench down the center. Sprinkle trench with 1 tablespoon ice water and fluff flour so it absorbs the water. Repeat three times, drawing trenches and sprinkling each with 1 tablespoon ice water, so 4 tablespoons of water have been incorporated. The dough should be starting to clump in large pieces. If necessary, add water by droplets until dough begins to form a mass.
• Gather dough with a pastry scraper. Working quickly, use the heel of your hand to smear an egg-size piece of dough by pushing it away from you. Continue with remaining dough (about 6 smears total), then gather dough again and repeat the process. Shape into 2 flat disks, and cover each in a double-thickness of plastic wrap, pressing wrapped disks to further shape and bind them. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Roll out one chilled disk to 1/8-inch thickness, large enough to line and slightly overhang an 8-inch-square 2-inch-deep baking dish, or other shallow 2-quart pan. Trim to leave 1/2 inch of pastry above rim, refrigerating both pan and trimmings. Roll out remaining dough to about 1/8-inch thickness, to cover top of cobbler, again trimming and refrigerating excess dough. Slide top crust onto a plate, and refrigerate.
• Make the filling: Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, toss together peaches, sugar, flour, salt and nutmeg. Place mixture in the crust-lined baking dish, and tuck chilled trimmings into the center and sides of the filling, scattering them throughout. Top with butter slices. Moisten rim of dough with water and slide flat pastry crust on top. Press edges of dough to seal, and cut a few 1-inch slits in top crust. If desired, sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees, and continue to bake until crust is deep golden brown and filling begins to bubble through slits, 30 to 40 more minutes. Cool cobbler on a rack until warm. If desired, serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream or ice cream.
