Peaches with Vanilla Ice Cream image

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pint Vanilla Ice Cream or purchased ice cream
4 ripe fresh peaches
1 teaspoon fresh lime or lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans

Steps:

1. Prepare ice cream in advance, if using homemade. Then, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Dip the peaches in, 1 at a time, until the skins loosen, about 10 seconds. Peel, pit, and cut the peaches in half. Put in a bowl. Add the lime or lemon juice. Toss gently to coat to help prevent the peaches from turning brown for a short time. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours. 2. Meanwhile, toast the nuts in a small, dry skillet over medium heat, stirring and shaking the pan, until fragrant and lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve the peaches cold, cut side up, in small dessert bowls with ice cream spooned into the cavities. Sprinkle lightly with nuts. Drizzle a little chocolate syrup on top, if desired.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
