Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Carefully add the peaches and blanch them for 1-2 minutes, or until the skins begin to loosen.
Transfer the peaches to a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel off the skins, then slice the peaches in half and remove the pits.
In the same saucepan, combine 500 ml of water, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Add the peeled peach halves to the liquid. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the peaches are tender but still hold their shape. Remove the peaches from the liquid and let them cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, purée the fresh raspberries with the lemon juice until smooth. Strain the purée through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, if desired.
To assemble, place two peach halves in a serving dish or dessert bowl. Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream on top or beside the peaches.
Drizzle the raspberry sauce generously over the peaches and ice cream.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
