Servings: persons

FOR THE FILLING:
4 whole Peaches
4 teaspoons Honey
1 teaspoon Freshly Grated Ginger Root
4 teaspoons Cornstarch
FOR THE STREUSEL:
1/2 cups Flour
1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
1/4 cups Brown Sugar
1 pinch Salt
1/8 teaspoons Freshly-ground Nutmeg
1/4 cups Butter, Put In The Freezer For About 10 Minutes Prior To Use
FOR THE BRANDY CREAM:
4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
1/4 cups Sugar
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 Tablespoon Brandy
2 teaspoons Vanilla Bean Paste (or Vanilla Extract, Or 1 Scraped Vanilla Bean)

1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter four 16-ounce ramekins.
2
For the filling:
3
Pit peaches, and slice each peach into 16 slices. Place 16 slices, overlapping, into each ramekin, making 2 layers. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over each ramekin of peaches. Spread 1/4 teaspoon of fresh ginger into each ramekin. Then sift 1 teaspoon of cornstarch over the top of each.
4
For the streusel:
5
In a medium-sized bowl mix together flour, oats, sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Using a large grater, grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture and mix. (Alternately, you can cut up butter and use a pastry blender to incorporate.)
6
Top each ramekin with 1/4 of the streusel mixture. Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden and crisp. Depending on the size/shape of your ramekins, you may need to broil the top for a minute at the end to get a nice golden color.
7
While baking, prepare brandy cream:
8
In a medium bowl beat softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer. Add heavy cream and beat, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed, until stiff. Beat in brandy and vanilla bean paste. Set aside.
9
When they are done remove the crisps from the oven. Allow crisps to cool 5 minutes before topping with cream and serving.
10
Taste, then swoon.

Note: There is probably more cream than you need for the crisps. I use this as an excuse to put it on every other dessert item I possibly can.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
