Description

These Crispy Peaches are a simple way to turn fresh peaches into a fun dessert or snack. The peaches stay juicy and tender inside while the batter fries up light, golden, and crisp. They’re delicious served warm on their own, but even better with a drizzle of honey, powdered sweetener, vanilla ice cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Ingredients
  • 1-2 Fresh peaches (cut into wedges)
  • ½ cup All-purpose flour (for dusting)
  • Oil (for frying)
    • For the Batter
  • ¾ cup All-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup Cornstarch
  • ½ cup Monk fruit sweetener (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ cup Cold water (or sparkling water)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Wash the peaches and cut them into even wedges. Pat them dry with paper towels, especially if they are very juicy. This helps the flour and batter adhere properly.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sweetener, and baking powder. Gradually add the cold water, whisking just until a thick, smooth batter forms. Don't overmix.
  3. 3
    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
  4. 4
    Lightly dust each peach wedge in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the batter, making sure it's completely coated.
  5. 5
    Carefully place the battered peach wedges into the hot oil. Fry in small batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
  6. 6
    Transfer the peaches to a wire rack to allow excess oil to drain and to keep the coating crisp.
  7. 7

    Enjoy warm with paired with a refreshing can of Chi Forest Sparkling Refresher and your favorite toppings or dipping sauce.

Note

• Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape when cut.
• Pat the peaches dry before coating to help the batter stick.
• Cold water helps create a lighter, crispier batter, so keep it chilled until you're ready to mix.
• Don't overmix the batter; a few small lumps are fine.
• Fry in small batches so the oil temperature doesn't drop too much.
• If using very sweet peaches, you can reduce the amount of sweetener in the batter.
• These are best served shortly after frying while the coating is still crunchy.
