Here we go again. The shopping torture continues.
Yesterday my 16 year old niece Raquel took me out to the mall for 3 hours (yes, SHE took ME out), convinced me to buy stuff I would never even look at and even forced me to try on skinny jeans. Skinny jeans! Now that is torture.
But you know what, putting aside my animosity for shopping, I have to admit I had a really nice time, just because I was with her. She is like the younger sister I never had. Over the years I’ve watched this little peanut she was when I first moved here to the US, grow into the amazing, smart, funny young woman she is today.
I know I’ve talked about her before, and I’ll never get tired of doing it, because she amazes me every day. And especially now that she has become our very own “intern”, her talent is really flourishing. She’s been such a great help to us, especially in the creativity department.
This recipe we’re sharing here today is an example. When Galaxy Nutritional Foods offered us to try some of their products, Raquel was he one who came up with this concept that Vicky and I later developed. Pretty good for a 16 year old kid, don’t you think?
Not that I’m biased… 😉
Hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend!

Raquel sounds as delightful as this recipe. I love using stone fruits in summer desserts -- and this one looks like it doesn't heat up the kitchen too much!

Thank you! This recipe is really light and refreshing. Glad you like it!

This is perfect timing - I have an overload of peaches that will ripen too quickly to eat one at a time. This looks wonderful! Thanks 🙂
mayihavethatrecipe
Thanks!! You can always cook a lot of peaches at a time and mix them with the cream cheese in small batches. The cooked peaches are also great over pancakes, waffles and even on shakes!! Enjoy!!! 🙂
Raquel

Is the puff pastry vegan? I know that usually puff pastry is made with butter, which is not vegan!
mayihavethatrecipe
Yes, the puff pastry we use does not contain butter and is vegan. Most of the time, the kosher section in the grocery store will carry one or two different brands. Hope this helps!
