Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the peach mixture for added flavor. If you're short on time, you can use frozen peaches instead of fresh; just thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing. For a gluten-free option, substitute the sugar cookie dough with gluten-free cookie dough from your favorite brand.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. This dessert also pairs beautifully with the richness of Hot Blueberry Sauce drizzled on top. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a fresh salad dressed with Chick'S French Dressing to balance the sweetness of the sundae.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through.
