Ingredients:
- 2 ½ pounds ripe peaches, sliced
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 bags Milton’s Gluten Free Crispy Sea Salt Crackers
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peaches: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Toss the fruit until it is evenly coated. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill.
- Make the Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Cake: In a baking pan or casserole dish, lay Milton’s Gluten Free Crispy Sea Salt Crackers in an even layer. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the crackers, then top with a layer of the chilled peaches. Sprinkle some slivered almonds on top.
- Repeat the Layers: Repeat the process three more times, creating layers of crackers, whipped cream, fruit, and almonds.
- Chill: Place the layered cake in the refrigerator and chill for about two hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Optional Touch: For an extra crunch, crush a few additional Milton’s Gluten Free Crispy Sea Salt Crackers and add them around the perimeter of the cake right before serving.
