  • 1 pinch lemon zest
  • 4 tbsp vanilla ice-cream

  5. Divide the warm peaches into serving bowls. Top with the vanilla ice cream.
  6. Just before serving, add a dash of fresh thyme as a fragrant garnish, it lifts everything.
  7. Bon appetit!
Recipe Notes

For a richer flavor, you can melt 1 tbsp of unsalted butter in the pan before adding the vanilla sugar. It creates a deeper caramel base and gives the peaches a silkier finish. This small addition brings warmth and depth, especially lovely when serving on a cooler evening.
