This effortless dessert highlights extra-ripe peaches. Freezing whole peaches and then grating them produces a refreshing, granita-like texture packed with pure fruit flavor. Layer the shaved frozen peaches over crunchy shortbread and finish with a honeyvanilla whipped cream, lime zest, and mint for a perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and bright flavors.

Ingredients

3 well-ripened peaches
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
Finely grated zest from 2 limes
A few mint leaves, for serving
8 shortbread cookies (your preferred variety)

Directions

Arrange the whole peaches (do not pit or peel) on a tray and freeze until firmat least 5 hours, preferably overnight.
When ready to serve, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar, honey, and vanilla until soft to medium peaks form.
Place one shortbread cookie in the bottom of each of four coupe glasses.
Shred the frozen peaches with a box grater and mound the shavings over the cookie layer (the texture should resemble shaved ice or granita).
Spoon some whipped cream over the peaches, then sprinkle with lime zest and top with mint leaves.
Crumble the remaining shortbread cookies over each serving and serve immediately.
