Delicious Peach Melba Recipe - A French Dessert Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 medium ripe peaches (peeled and halved)
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Peaches

    In a pot of boiling water, blanch the peaches for about 30 seconds. Transfer them to an ice bath to stop cooking.

    Make sure to peel the peaches while they are warm for easier peeling.
  2. Make Raspberry Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the raspberries and sugar over medium heat until they break down and form a sauce. Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat.

    You can strain the sauce to remove seeds if desired.
  3. Assemble the Dish

    Place peach halves on serving plates, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of each peach half.

    Use slightly softened ice cream for easier scooping.
  4. Drizzle the Sauce

    Spoon the warm raspberry sauce generously over the ice cream and peaches.

    Serve immediately for the best temperature contrast.
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Optional: garnish with fresh raspberries or mint leaves before serving.

    Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch.
