Happy National Peaches and Cream Day!

Peaches and cream -- a simple summertime pleasure, with the juicy burst of sweet fruit tempered by the dairy creaminess. But while we are in agreement that peaches and cream in their natural state are sublime, here at Slashfood we like to get a little adventurous with the dessert, playing with the flavors and textures.

As pictured above, photographer SevenWorlds16 dressed her roasted peaches with cool vanilla ice cream and a honey-lime glaze. The two also pair together well in Peach Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting. Or perhaps you want it all in one refreshing bite, in which case you'll be delighted with Roasted Peach Ice Cream, Brown Sugar and Peach Ice Cream, or the most indulgent of the lot, a Honey Peach Champagne Float.
