Boozy Peach Shortcakes with Sweet Cream Recipe
Peaches and cream just got a little boozy thanks to fresh, in-season peaches that we infused with peach schnapps.

Homemade whipped cream tastes so much better than the canned stuff, but if you need to save yourself an additional few minutes, you can also grab the ready-made stuff.
