This delightful dessert combines sweet peaches with creamy layers for a refreshing treat that feels like a warm hug from grandma. Perfect for sharing with loved ones on a sunny afternoon or special occasion.
Start by heating your oven to 325°F. Spread the oats out on a baking sheet and toast them for about 5 minutes. Then, toss in the almonds and toast everything together for another 5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Take the pan out of the oven and transfer the oat and almond mix to a bowl.
Next, stir in the brown sugar and melted butter until everything is well combined. Press this mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Pop it in the fridge while you make the filling.
In a saucepan, bring the orange juice to a boil. Take it off the heat and slowly whisk in the gelatin until it’s completely dissolved. Add the ice cream and stir until the mixture is smooth and melted. Gently fold in the peaches and a splash of almond extract.
Pour the filling into your chilled crust and let it set in the fridge for at least three hours before slicing and serving.
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best natural sweetness.
- Chill the parfait layers before assembling to help them set properly.
- Gently fold ingredients to keep the mixture light and airy.
This dessert is a perfect blend of sweet peaches and creamy layers that everyone will enjoy. It brings a nostalgic, homemade feel to any gathering. The combination of flavors and textures makes it a delightful treat for all ages.
Serve chilled with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or freshly brewed coffee. For a festive touch, add fresh mint leaves or a few sliced almonds.
Keep the pie covered and refrigerated to maintain freshness. It is best enjoyed within 2-3 days. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change once thawed.
