Peach Melba with Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 2 Peaches (Peeled and cut into wedges)
• 100 g Sugar
• 500 ml Boiling water (For the sugar syrup; additional boiling water is also needed for blanching the peaches)
• Ice cream (Your favorite variety, amount to taste)
• Berry confiture or jam (For decorating; the author uses raspberry sauce)
• Chocolate (For sprinkling, to taste)
• Nuts (For sprinkling, to taste)
• Almond flakes (For decorating, to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Make crosswise cuts over the entire surface of each peach. Cover the peaches with boiling water for 1 minute so the skins peel off more easily.

2. 2

   Transfer the peaches to a bowl of cold water. Peel them and cut the flesh into wedges.

3. 3

   Pour 500 ml of boiling water over the sugar and stir until dissolved. Place the peach wedges in the syrup and cook over heat for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and leave them to cool.

5. 5

   To assemble the dessert, arrange the peaches on the bottom and along the sides of dessert glasses.

6. 6

   Add ice cream to the center of each dessert glass.

7. 7

   Decorate the dessert with berry confiture or jam, chocolate, nuts, or almond flakes. Serve immediately.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of ice cream or toppings; add them to taste. The description mentions raspberry sauce, but confiture or jam made from any berries may be used as an alternative.
