Directions
Brandied Peach Shortcake starts with a rich cream cheese cake batter, then topped with boozy brandy soaked peaches and plenty of vanilla whipped cream.
Brandied Peach Shortcake
Maybe it comes from a long-held love of a traditional sherry trifle but I have always been personally partial to boozy desserts. Aromatic liquors or sweet intensely flavoured liqueurs add a new dimension to many desserts and a real sense of celebration to any occasion.
Combined with my love of sweet summer peaches, this made a terrific take-along contribution to a recent get together with friends that everyone raved about.

Using cake flour along with the addition of cream cheese to the shortcake batter makes for a light, texturally perfect base to this simple but scrumptious dessert.
Fresh peaches work best in this simple recipe idea but I have used frozen before as well. Just thaw them first.
This is still a great simple summer dessert for teetotalers if you want to leave out the brandy, especially if you have fresh, perfectly ripe, sweet juicy peaches.
