# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Fifteen minutes from fridge to bowl means more time porch sitting
- The contrast of cold cream against room temperature peaches hits different
02 -
- Overwhipped cream turns to butter in seconds, watch closely or you will be eating sweet butter on peaches which is not terrible but not the goal.
- Peaches continue to release liquid once cut, so layer right before serving or the bottom turns into peach soup.
03 -
- A splash of orange liqueur in the cream makes this feel like a dinner party dessert
- Coconut cream whips up beautifully if you need dairy free, just shake the can first
