Luscious chilled summer treat with juicy peaches and velvety cream, ready in 15 minutes.
# What you need:
→ Fresh Fruit
01 - 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
02 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (optional)

# How to make it:

02 - Wash the peaches and blueberries thoroughly. Cut the peaches in half, remove pits, and slice into uniform wedges. Pat blueberries dry if needed.
03 - Arrange the peach slices and blueberries in the bottom of individual serving glasses or a large serving bowl, creating an even fruit base.

05 - Top with fresh mint leaves and sliced almonds if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for a colder, more refreshing dessert.
# Expert tips:
01 -
- Its the kind of dessert that feels indulgent but somehow still light and refreshing
- You can assemble it in fifteen minutes flat even on your most exhausted days
- Everyone thinks you put in way more effort than you actually did
02 -
- The whipped cream starts weeping after about an hour, so time your assembly carefully and don't make it too far in advance
- Room temperature cream will never whip properly no matter how long you beat it, so don't even try cutting this corner
- Over whipped cream turns to butter in seconds, so stop as soon as you see those soft peaks forming
03 -
- Freeze your mixing bowl for ten minutes before whipping the cream and it will come together twice as fast
- Taste your peaches first and adjust the powdered sugar if they're especially tart or sweet
