KITCHEN MISADVENTURE SERIES: Peach float

Okay…okay…I will not let these setbacks derail me from getting what I want to do – to make some delish dessert for the weekend! Well, I originally wanted to make some corn muffins but I could not find any cornmeal! So I opted to make choco muffins but this time, it's the baking chocolate bars that I couldn't find. Then, I wanted sana carrot cupcakes but when I got home, I found out that I am all out of cinnamon naman! Oh no...it seems that this may not be the moment yet for me to use my new muffin pans. But nonetheless I am adamant to make some dessert and so I settled for something easy to do - peach float. First, you crush some grahams and press it with melted butter onto a square baking pan. Then, you set this aside and let chill inside the refrigerator. Meantime, beat the chilled cream with condensed milk until it doubles. Spread onto the chilled layer of graham crust then top with more crushed graham crackers and then another layer of cream-condensed milk mixture. Lastly, place the float on top of the cream and let chill for a few hours. There should have been another layer of clear gelatin cooked in the peach halves syrup but my daughter doesn't like gelatin and so I omitted this last step. Next time, though, I would heed a friend's advice and cut the peaches into smaller slices instead of putting the heavy halves in the cream. But nonetheless the dessert was delicious and so easy to do! Will definitely do this again!
