Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen peach slices. Thaw them slightly before peeling and pitting, or add them directly to the saucepan and increase simmering time if needed until tender.

How do I make the almond cream extra smooth?

For the smoothest almond cream, ensure your food processor runs long enough to fully break down the raw almonds, adding extra water gradually until the desired creamy consistency is achieved.

What if I don't have Medjool dates?

While Medjool dates offer a rich, soft texture, you can substitute other soft dates like Deglet Noor. Just be sure to pit them and halve them as directed.

Can I adjust the sweetness in this recipe?

Yes, you can adjust the maple syrup in the peach mixture and the rice syrup in the almond cream to your preference. Taste and add more if desired after the initial cooking.

How should I store leftover stewed peaches and almond cream?

Store the stewed peaches and almond cream separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat the peaches gently on the stovetop or microwave, and drizzle with fresh almond cream.
