1 egg white at room temperature
2 eggs yolk
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup whipped cream
3/4 ginger ground
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 peaches large ripe, peeled* and sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 2-ounce package almonds blanched slivered, toasted (1/2 cup)
In a small mixer bowl at high speed, beat egg white until stiff peaks form; set aside.
In a large mixer bowl at high speed, beat egg yolks until blended. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and beat for 3 minutes or until thick and pale yellow. Fold in beaten egg white until no streaks remain; set aside.
In a small mixer bowl at medium speed, beat whipping cream, ginger and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold into egg mixture until blended. Transfer to a shallow 1-quart pan and freeze for 2 hours or until firm but not hard.
Place peaches in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar or to taste. Let stand to dissolve sugar and improve flavor.
To assemble, drain peaches. In individual parfait glasses, layer peach slices and ice cream; repeat. Top with nuts.
* To peel peaches, drop peaches into boiling water for 1 minute. Remove peaches and slip off skins.
