Peach Bowl for Two

Step away from that garbage can. Before you throw away those overly ripe peaches, let’s turn them into a fantastic dessert. The Peach Bowl for Two is a flour tortilla turned into a gorgeous bowl that has the perfect amount of crunch and sweetness. It will be filled with your favorite ice cream, cooked peaches, caramel sauce and topped with nuts. You really will be surprised to see how easy it is to make.

You will need a large burrito size flour tortilla, 1/3 cup of water, one teaspoon sugar, two tablespoons canola oil, ½ tablespoon brown sugar, two dashes of ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. 

Combine all the ingredients minus the tortilla in a shallow pie plate. 

Dip the tortilla in the oil mix and flip it over to completely coat it.

Using a 28 ounce empty metal can, drape the moist tortilla over it and mold the sides to the can as best as possible. Put on a cookie sheet and place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool a few minutes and carefully remove it from the can and flip it over, return to the sheet and bake for another few minutes. Keep your eyes on it, it can burn very easily. You want a nice toasty color. Remove from the oven and let cool.

In the meantime, peel three peaches; chop them into bite size pieces and place in a small sauce pan with the flame on medium to high. Add one teaspoon sugar and sprinkle in some cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook till bubbly and lower to a simmer.

In a small bowl whisk together 1 ½ tablespoons of water and one teaspoon corn starch. Pour into the peaches to slightly thicken. Continue to simmer until glossy and gelled like.

Let it cool slightly.

When you are ready to share your unbelievably delectable happy ending, take two large scoops of your favorite ice cream and fill the bowl.

Dress the ice cream with one tablespoon of caramel sauce, two tablespoons of warm peaches and a handful of chopped nuts of your choice.

Grab your loved one, two spoons and dig in.
