• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen sliced peaches, thawed
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1⁄4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄3 cup lemon juice
• 1 cup boiling water
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) package prepared butter pound cake, cubed, cubed
• 1 cup sweetened whipped cream

directions

1. Place peach slices into a large bowl, and sprinkle with brown sugar. Stir to coat, and set aside.
2. In a medium metal bowl, stir together the white sugar, flour, lemon zest and salt. Whisk in the lemon juice until the mixture is smooth. Gradually whisk in the boiling water.
3. In a smaller bowl, whisk the yolks together. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot lemon mixture. Then whisk the yolk mixture back into the larger bowl.
4. Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cook, stirring frequently until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter. Set aside.
5. In each parfait glass, make a layer of pound cake cubes, about 1/2 cup. Top with about 2 tablespoons of lemon sauce, then 1/4 cup of peach slices.
6. Repeat the layers one more time. Top with 1 tablespoon of the lemon sauce. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to be sure it is thoroughly chilled. Top each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
