You read that right! Chili Oil Peaches n’Cream. Perfectly sweet, perfectly creamy & perfectly spicy. This combination is 🤯 and 100% vegan. Inspired by Tuê – I saw she put chili crisp on top of soft serve at one of her pop-ups in LA and I just HAD to do a Chef Priyanka amped up rendition!
I love the concept of sweet & savory – a lot of my recipes involve that dynamic, because I think it makes it exciting to eat!! And eating should be a delicious and dynamic adventure. So, I’ve been seeing chili oil on ice cream, but I just needed to take it up 5 notches, cause, who would I be if I didn’t?! This is also the easiest dessert in all the land – I promise.
Tips:
(1) use peaches that are almost ripe – when they’re overly ripe, they become mushy and hard to sear.
(2) place chili crisp/oil in the fridge before topping your ice cream so it slowly drizzles down into the peaches.
