A simple and simply delicious desert topping. I used frozen peaches and served it over ginger ice cream. This is a must have recipe! You can transform even the simplest desert into a super special treat. Thanks Mysterygirl! -
Alrighty...I don't drink, so I didn't have any of the suggested liqueurs. I quickly made this with a dash of vanilla and some brown sugar for the added flavor. I used frozen peaches that had been defrosted. And instead of ice cream, I poured this over a homemade shortcake. Yummy! A quick version of peach cobbler that was really easy! -
This was a perfect ending to a filling meal: very light, very easy to make, and delicious! Everybody loved it. Thanks! -
Great simple dessert. I used frozen peaches, French vanilla ice cream and Grand Marnier. The orange flavor was very subtle but added just the right amount of intrigue. Thanks MG. -
My family is not crazy about orange liqueur so used 1 Tbs. orange liqueur and 1 Tbs. fresh orange juice. Suited us just fine. Spooned over vanilla ice cream for some, peach ice cream for others, with a scoop of whipped cream. Everyone enjoyed- mostly because it wasn’t too sweet or overpowering.

I made this ahead of time for company. Can be quickly warmed in microwave right before serving. I had two fresh perfectly ripe summer peaches so I reduced the sugar (used two tablespoons which was plenty given how sweet the peaches were). For more "sauce" I used two tablespoons butter and two tablespoons of triple sec. As another reviewer mentioned, the orange liqueur is subtle, but adds nice flavor. Also added a pinch of salt. After removing the pan from the heat I added some lemon zest. Amazing!!!
