Storage:

Serve the Peach Frost immediately for the best-frozen texture.

It’s perfect for a cool, refreshing treat on a hot day, and it pairs beautifully with light snacks or grilled dishes.

Serving Ideas:

Store any leftover Peach Frost in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days.

Before serving leftovers, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften, as it will harden once frozen.

Tips for Success

• Use Ripe Peaches: The riper the peaches, the sweeter and more flavorful your Peach Frost will be.

• Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your peaches, you may not need much honey or maple syrup. Taste and adjust accordingly.
