Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dark rum
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons toasted pecans or almonds (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the peaches (optional, depending on texture preference) and slice them into thick wedges, discarding the pits.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to the skillet, stirring until the mixture becomes a smooth and bubbly caramel sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the peach slices to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, tossing gently to coat them evenly in the sauce. The peaches should soften slightly but not become mushy.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Carefully pour the rum into the skillet. Use a long lighter or match to ignite the liquid, creating a flambé effect. Allow the flames to burn until they subside, which typically takes about 30 seconds. Be cautious and ensure safety during this step.
Step 7
Once the flames are out, remove the skillet from heat.
Step 8
Serve the caramelized peaches over bowls of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle the sauce from the skillet over the top.
Step 9
Optionally, sprinkle with toasted pecans or almonds for added crunch and flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy immediately while warm.
