This is something I made up. I love peaches and I absolutely LOVE Peach Daquiris, but since I am under the age of 21 I am not allowed alcohol so I had to come up with my own twist. Any time I have a bit of extra money when I go to Olive Garden I order a Peach Daquiri, this came very close to their version!
Ingredients
1-2 peaches, sliced and frozen
1/4 cup water
about 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 bowl of ice
4-6 heaping teaspoons of confectioner's sugar
Before you start to make your frozen treat you need to peel the peaches. I found the easiest way to do this is to boil a pot of water, once it starts boiling cut it off then put a peach in for 45 seconds to 1 minute and make sure it all is covered by the water, then transfer it to a bowl of ice cold water (with chunks of ice in it) for 10-20 seconds. It makes the peaches so much easier to get the peel off. Once they have all been peeled you need to cut them into slices (whatever you think your blender can handle). I cut my peaches into 8 slices. Then I laid them out on a pan and stuck them in the freezer for a few hours.
Once your peaches have been frozen, get your blender out and put in the 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream (my dad just uses 1/2 cup of water, but I tried with half water, half whipping cream and it was much better). Here in a regular daquiri is where you would add your rum, so you can try if you would like. Next add 4 heaping teaspoons of confectioner's sugar, then add a few slices of peach and 2 ice cubes (my blender can only handle a few frozen things at a time). Blend until everything is well blended, then add more peaches and ice cubes gradually. Once everything has been blended, taste and see if it is sweet enough (I don't sweeten the peaches when I prepare them so it may take more). If it needs to be sweeter then add more confectioner's sugar, and if you want a creamier texture then add more heavy whipping cream. Once it is all mixed together, pour into glasses and enjoy :)
