(Melacatones con Natillas y Fresas)
Category: Fruit Desserts
Poached fresh peaches, nestled in heavenly vanilla pudding studded with bright juicy strawberries, is a dessert worth waiting for. Use wonderful ripe peaches. San Angel Inn, a great restaurant in Mexico City, matches fresh fruits with natillas, the classic Mexican vanilla pudding. Whenever the dessert cart stops at my table, I'm tempted by this sweet dish. Peaches and strawberries are both grown in a variety of agricultural areas of Mexico.
2 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
2 large ripe peaches, peeled, halved and pitted
1 vanilla bean, or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Mexican Vanilla Pudding
16 whole or sliced fresh strawberries
Sprig fresh mint
1. In a wide 3-quart, nonreactive pot, bring the water and sugar to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low, add the peach halves and vanilla. Poach slowly, uncovered, until the peaches are barely tender when pierced with tip of a sharp knife, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the ripeness of the peaches. Transfer the peaches and the syrup to a bowl. (Rinse and dry the vanilla bean. Store to use again.) Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours or overnight.
2. Make the pudding and chill until shortly before serving. To serve, spoon a serving of pudding into 4 dessert dishes. (Save remaining pudding for another use.) Place 1 peach half in each dish, rounded side up. Garnish each serving with strawberries and a sprig of mint.
