Description
A delightful Southern Peach Tea Icebox Cake that combines refreshing flavors of peach and sweet tea, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy cream, whipped
- 1 cup brewed and cooled peach tea
- 1 box (about 12 oz) vanilla wafers
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for caramelizing peaches)
- Additional whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches with lemon juice and sugar. Toss gently to coat the peaches and set aside for about 15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and the cooled peach tea. Stir until well blended. Gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
- In a 9×13 inch baking dish, layer vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of peach filling. Repeat until all filling is used, finishing with a layer of vanilla wafers on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the reserved sliced peaches and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
- Remove the cake from the refrigerator, top with caramelized peaches and additional whipped cream if desired. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, and enjoy within 3-4 days.
- For freezing, slice first and wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap; can be frozen for up to a month.
- Avoid soaking the wafers too long in tea to prevent sogginess.
- Using ripe peaches enhances sweetness and flavor.
