Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk instead of dry milk powder. You can also substitute the peaches with other canned fruits like pineapple or pears for a different flavor. If you want to enhance the cinnamon flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg as well. This frostee pairs beautifully with Cinnamon Pound Cake for a delightful dessert experience.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Peach Frostee in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing treat. It makes a delightful dessert on its own or can be paired with a light salad or a slice of Granny'S Kitchen for a balanced meal. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a slice of fresh peach for an appealing presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, pour the frostee into a blender and blend briefly to restore its smooth texture. If it’s too thick, you can add a little juice from the canned peaches to thin it out before serving.
