1Prepare the Walnut Praline: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine white sugar, water, and NESTLÉ® Fresh Milk. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the halved walnuts. Continue to cook until the mixture turns a golden caramel color. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda, vanilla or maple flavor, and cold butter. Allow it to cool slightly before spreading it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.

2Prepare the Sweetened Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the chilled NESTLÉ® All Purpose Cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar while continuing to whip until well combined. Fold in the sliced or cubed canned peaches or fruit cocktail gently.

3Layer the Ingredients: In a glass or dessert dish, start with a layer of crumbled otap biscuits, lady fingers, or butter cake slices. Follow with a layer of sliced peaches, the sweetened cream mixture, then add a few pieces of walnut praline. Repeat the layers until the brim of the mold, finishing with a layer of sweetened cream and a sprinkle of walnut praline on top.

4Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled layers for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled, garnished with additional walnuts or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.
