When baked in the oven, peaches caramelize in their juices, deepening their flavor. This dessert becomes elegant and sophisticated in its presentation: Use a pretty plate or a coupe glass and layer the soft, caramelized fruit with golden toasted almonds and mounds of orange-scented whipped cream.

The almonds add crunch and smokiness, and with almond extract and orange zest added to the cream, this simple dessert becomes a wonderful combination of flavors that truly reminds me of classic aromas in the Andalucian countryside. Sublime.
