Candied Peaches & Cream

Just made this the other day, and was seeking some input. Feel free to adapt, comment, or compliment!

Ingredients:
- 3 Fresh Peaches (peeled, pitted, & halved)
- 1-1/2 cups Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Vannilla Extract
- 1 pint Heavy Wipping Cream
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- pinch Cinnamon Powder

Directions - Peaches:
In a sautee' pan set to medium , heat the Brown Sugar, Vannilla, and Cinnamon untill melted and hot. (You can use a candy thermometer to make sure you stay in the soft crack or lower range.) Add the Peaches with the pitt side down into the sugar, be careful it may boil on you if the peaches are very juicy. Cook till slightly soft, but with a little firmness left. Remove from the pan, and reduce the syrup, and set aside for plating.

Directions - Cream:
Chill a stand mixer with ice for 10 - 15 mins (should be VERY cold to touch). Empty ice, and wipe excess water from the bowl. Combine Cream and Powdered Sugar, and wip till thickened, about 10-12 mins depending on how cold the bowl is. Place in fridge for 20 mins to set before plating.

Plating:
1 peach, add cream, garnish with the syrup.
