How I created this Fried Peaches and Vanilla Bean Creme Anglaise sauce recipe
Kay – this is where I admit I’m not the biggest fan of peaches. BUT my kids are. Something I AM a fan of is fried treats! I never miss the fair and spend almost all my day enjoying all the fair food I can eat.
I have Deep fried Twinkies, oreos, cookie dough and snickers on the blog already. What is your favorite fair food? I need more to make this year!!!
Anyway If it say “fried” on the banner you know I’m stopping. Now when I first tried these they were served with whipped cream. But I didn’t feel that was the best fit…
Then last month I was at Disneyland and they served the Mickey Beignets with some vanilla bean creme anglaise sauce and I fell in love and thought “this would be PERFECT” and not to toot my own horn, but I was right, this sauce is AMAZING with these fried peaches!
Just take me to the Fried Peaches Recipe already!

Tips and Tricks for frying food
– get a deep fryer… okay so you can fry food without a fryer, but if you love fried foods it’s totally worth getting one – it will hold the oil at the perfect temp
– or an electric skillet – it also holds oil at the perfect temp but it’s not as deep so it’s not great for all fried food you might want to make.
– or a pot with a good thermometer. It takes a little more effort to keep the oil at the right temp – you’ll have to babysit it and constantly tweek but you can control the depth and everyone has a pan lying around, right?
– pick the right oil! there are a lot of options out there, and not one oil is good for everything. Olive oil is more sensitive to heat so it’s not right for deep frying. There is peanut oil, coconut oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, lard…. think about what your making and the flavor the oil you pick will add to your dish. I stuck with a simple vegetable oil for this but feel free to experiment!
– Have a jelly roll pan with a few layers of news paper, and then paper towels and then a cooling rack on top ready to go before you start frying. The peaches don’t take long to fry and you want to be ready to take them out right away so they don’t over cook and you can take them out immediately. You can just put it on the paper towels but the cooling rack will keep it crisp vs sitting on the oil and staying oily.
– in fact have everything ready to go before you start frying – the batter, the peaches, the cinnamon and sugar and the chilled sauce.
– fried peaches are best fresh so go ahead and prep everything ahead of time but wait to fry them until your ready to enjoy them!
Tips for making a custard sauce – Creme Anglaise:
– I like to use an actual vanilla pod but you can use vanilla bean paste or vanilla.
– You use a vanilla pod at the beginning simmering to get that flavor through out but if using liquid vanilla or bean paste you need to add it at the end instead – after straining. Because simmering the liquid or paste vanilla will actually will make the flavor less strong
– I like to beat my eggs and sugar together getting a lovely thick base. But you can just beat the eggs alone and dissolve the sugar with the liquid. It’s a personal choice. I feel it actually thickens faster this way but maybe that’s just in my head.
– have the eggs beat and ready to go before you heat the liquid, you don’t want the liquid to get too warm or simmer too long so you want to be ready for the next step.
– Obviously I keep repeating to prep – so here I go again – have the ice bath ready to go so the moment the sauce is thick enough. Since you need to be stirring constantly you don’t won’t be able to prepare it in the middle of cooking the sauce. The ice bath will chill the sauce quickly. If you put the warm sauce directly into the fridge you’ll warm the other foods and create a lot of condensation into the sauce.
– finally press plastic wrap directly onto the sauce, not just over the bowl, but pressed down onto the sauce so it doesn’t develop a “crust”
