Peaches Foster

A classic flambéed dessert reinvented with juicy peaches, a salted butter caramel sauce, and a touch of rum, served with vanilla ice cream and flaky salt.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt or Morton kosher salt
  • 200 g Sugar
  • 45 ml Water
  • 113 g Unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp Vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • ¼ cuillère à café cuillère à café Coarsely ground pepper
  • 5 pieces Yellow peaches
  • 50 g Pecans or roasted salted walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 80 ml Amber rum
  • as needed Vanilla ice cream
  • as needed Flaky sea salt

Method

  1. Prepare the butter caramel sauce according to the prepared component instructions.
  2. Place the peach halves cut-side down in the skillet with the hot sauce.
  3. Sprinkle the pecans or chopped walnuts over the top if using.
  4. Carefully drizzle the amber rum over everything.
  5. To flambé on a gas stove: carefully tilt the pan so the flames catch the rum, then turn off the heat. For an electric or induction stove: use a long lighter to ignite the sauce. Shake the pan until the flames die out (about 45 seconds).
  6. If not flambéing, reduce the heat to low and simmer, swirling gently, until the sauce is syrupy (about 2 minutes), then remove from the heat.
  7. Flip the peaches using a large spoon.
  8. Serve immediately by placing scoops of vanilla ice cream over the peaches, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
