Peach and Cream Cups

     There is nothing better on a hot summer day than a chilled, creamy dessert.  Of course, ice cream is the common choice (and my favorite!).  Here's a very easy peach mousse-like dessert...originally from Sandra Lee on the Food Network... that can cool down and sweeten up a hot summer night.  Enjoy!


Peach and Cream Cups
Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon of sugar
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1 cup peach preserves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 fresh peach, for garnish

Directions:
In a large bowl, whip heavy cream and sugar with a hand mixer until the mixture forms peaks.  Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator.

In another large bowl, mix cream cheese, vanilla, and peach perverse. Whip until ingredients are completely combined and fluffy.  Fold the peach mixture into the whipped cream.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

To serve, divide among glasses (should make about 4 servings).  Top with slices of fresh peach.
