Description

This lemon peach parfait recipe is perfectly sweet and tangy. Peaches are layered with pound cake and a lemon sauce, then topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen sliced peaches, thawed
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup boiling water
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter
1 (10 3/4 ounce) loaf prepared pound cake, cubed
1 cup sweetened whipped cream

Directions

1 Place peach slices in a large bowl; sprinkle with brown sugar and stir to coat. Set aside.
2 Stir white sugar, flour, lemon zest, and salt together in a metal bowl; whisk in lemon juice until smooth. Gradually whisk in boiling water.
3 Whisk egg yolks together in a small bowl; gradually whisk in about ½ cup hot lemon mixture to temper. Whisk yolk mixture into lemon mixture. Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Off heat, whisk in butter; set aside.

Top each with 1 tablespoon lemon sauce. Chill in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour. Dollops parfaits with whipped cream before serving.
