Pêches Melba

Pêches Melba is a delightful French dessert featuring poached peaches served with velvety vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of raspberry sauce. This healthy version incorporates fresh ingredients and minimizes added sugars for a light yet indulgent treat.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe peaches
• 250 ml water
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100 grams fresh raspberries
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 150 grams Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon sliced almonds (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, bring 250 ml of water, honey, and vanilla extract to a gentle simmer.
2. Carefully add the peaches, cut in half and pitted, to the simmering water and poach for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
3. Remove the peaches from the water and let them cool slightly, then peel off the skin.
4. In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and lemon juice, and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
