Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups water
3 1/2 cups sugar
1 vanilla pod, split lengthwise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
8 peaches
3 cups raspberries
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large tub vanilla ice

Steps:

  • Put the water, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla pod into a wide saucepan and heat gently to dissolve the sugar. Bring the pan to the boil and let it bubble away for about 5 minutes, then turn the heat down to a fast simmer.
  • Cut the peaches in half, and if the stones come out easily then remove them, if not then you can get them out later. Poach the peach halves in the sugar syrup for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side depending on the ripeness of the fruit. Test the cut side with the sharp point of a knife to see if they are soft, and then remove them to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • When all the peaches are poached, peel off their skins and let them cool (then you can remove any remaining stones). If you are making them a day in advance then let the poaching syrup cool and then pour into a dish with the peaches. Otherwise just bag up the syrup and freeze it for the next time you poach peaches.
  • To make the raspberry sauce, liquidize the raspberries, confectioners' sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or a food processor. Sieve to remove the pits and pour the puree into a jug.
  • To assemble the Peach Melba, allow 2 peach halves per person and sit them on each plate alongside a scoop or 2 of ice cream. Spoon the raspberry sauce over each.

NOT-SO-CLASSIC PEACH MELBA



Not-So-Classic Peach Melba image

A classic peach Melba is a dessert of poached peach halves and raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream, invented by the French chef Auguste Escoffier, and named after the Australian soprano Nellie Melba. This not-so-classic version calls for sliced ripe peaches instead of cooked peach halves. Look for the best vanilla ice cream, with real vanilla, or make your own. Easy to assemble, it's a lovely, refreshing and elegant dessert, perfect for when peaches and raspberries are in season.

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup ripe red raspberries, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
6 ripe, sweet freestone peaches
A few drops of lemon juice
1 quart vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Make the raspberry sauce: Put 1 cup raspberries and 2 tablespoons sugar in a blender and whiz to liquify. Pour through a fine-meshed strainer and into a medium bowl. Keep cool.
  • Using a paring knife, peel and halve the peaches. Slice the halves into half-moon pieces about 3/8-inch thick. Transfer to a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons sugar and a few drops of lemon juice to taste. Toss to coat.
  • To serve, arrange peach slices in the bottom of 6 dessert bowls. Top each serving with a scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream. Splash raspberry sauce over each portion. Garnish with a few raspberries if you wish.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful peaches. The best peaches for this trifle are ripe and juicy, with a sweet and slightly tart flavor. Avoid peaches that are too hard or too soft.
  • Make the custard ahead of time. The custard needs to chill for at least 4 hours before assembling the trifle, so it's best to make it the day before.
  • Use a trifle bowl or other large glass bowl. A trifle bowl is the traditional vessel for this dessert, but you can also use any other large glass bowl that will hold all of the ingredients.
  • Layer the trifle carefully. Start with a layer of sponge cake, then add a layer of peaches, a layer of custard, and a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the bowl.
  • Chill the trifle before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.

Conclusion:

Italian Peach Melba Trifle is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet peaches, creamy custard, and light whipped cream, this trifle is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
