Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Fresh peaches
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 500 ml Water
- 150 grams Fresh raspberries
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 liter Vanilla ice cream
- 30 grams Slivered almonds (optional, for garnish)
- 8 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan with 500 ml of water and add 100 grams of granulated sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved to create a simple syrup.
Bring the syrup to a gentle simmer. While waiting, cut the peaches in half and remove the pits.
Place the peach halves in the simmering syrup and poach for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and set them aside to cool.
In a blender, combine 150 grams of fresh raspberries and 30 grams of powdered sugar. Blend until smooth.
Strain the raspberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds. Set the sauce aside.
To assemble the sundaes, place two peach halves in each serving bowl or glass. Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.
Drizzle the raspberry sauce generously over the ice cream and peaches.
Optionally, garnish with slivered almonds and mint leaves for added texture and color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Peach Melba Sundaes!
