Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced
Dressing
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
Toppings
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Slice the peaches: Slice the ripe peaches into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution for the salad.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cream using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form—this provides a light and airy base for the dressing.
- Make the dressing: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream until it is smooth and fully combined, creating a sweet and creamy dressing for the peaches.
- Combine the ingredients: Add the whipped cream mixture to the sliced peaches and gently stir with a spatula or spoon until all the fruit is evenly coated without bruising the peaches.
- Top and serve: Sprinkle the chopped pecans and shredded coconut over the top of the peach salad as a final touch just before serving to add texture and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing treat.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture and sweetness.
- For a lighter option, substitute the whipped cream with whipped coconut cream.
- Chill the peach salad for 10 minutes before serving if preferred cooler.
- Toasting the pecans and coconut lightly enhances their flavor.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh to avoid soggy texture from the peaches.
