Wonderful dessert to have after a romantic dinner. If you don't make the whipped cream, buy it in the aerosol can. No cool whip for this special, romantic dessert!

How to make it
- WHIPPED CREAM
- Using a wire whisk or electric mixer, beat heavy cream over ice cubes in a chilled mixing bowl, just until cream thickens.
- When peaks start to form, add sugar and vanilla.
- Then whip to the desired consistency.
- CHAMPAGNE POACHED PEACHES
- Make a very light incision all around peach skins.
- Plunge the peaches briefly into boiling water, then into cold water, and peel.
- Place in a shallow pan and douse with champagne.
- Add the syrup and vanilla bean.
- Bring to a slow boil over low heat, and poach peaches at about 185 degress, but do not allow to boil.
- If peaches are very ripe, they will be poached after 5 minutes.
- Place peaches and syrup in a cool place, but do not refrigerate. Drain peaches, reserving the poaching liquid.
- Wash strawberries, remove any leaves, and purée in a blender or food processor.
- Place in a bowl and stir sugar into the purée.
- Stir whipped cream into the strawberry purée and add lemon juice.
- Serve on round plates, or in glass dishes or small bowls.
- Line the bottom of the dishes with strawberry cream and arrange the cooled, but not chilled, peaches on top.
- Garnish each peach with a mint sprig.
- Serve the chilled poaching liquid separately in a sauce boat.
