Peach Melba

Peach Melba is a refreshing and elegant dessert that combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with the creaminess of Greek yogurt and a touch of raspberry sauce. This healthy twist on a classic dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures, perfect for a summer treat.

Ingredients

• Fresh peaches - 2 medium, ripe
• Greek yogurt (plain, low-fat) - 200 grams
• Frozen raspberries - 100 grams
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 1 teaspoon
• Mint leaves - for garnish

Steps

1. Start by preparing the raspberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the frozen raspberries, honey, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
2. While the raspberry sauce cools, prepare the peaches. Cut the peaches in half, remove the pit, and slice them. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
3. In serving bowls or glasses, layer the sliced peaches at the bottom. Spoon a generous amount of Greek yogurt over the peaches.
4. Drizzle the cooled raspberry sauce over the yogurt, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
