NOT-SO-CLASSIC PEACH MELBA
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.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful peaches: The quality of your peaches will greatly impact the taste of your Peach Melba. Look for peaches that are fragrant, have a deep orange-yellow color, and give slightly when gently squeezed.
- Poach the peaches in a flavorful syrup: Poaching the peaches in a simple syrup infused with vanilla and spices enhances their natural sweetness and flavor. Make sure the syrup is simmering gently so the peaches don't overcook and become mushy.
- Chill the peaches and syrup thoroughly: Chilling the peaches and syrup before assembling the dessert allows the flavors to meld and develop. It also makes the peaches easier to handle and slice.
- Use high-quality vanilla ice cream: The vanilla ice cream is an important component of Peach Melba, so it's worth using a good quality brand. Look for ice cream that is creamy, flavorful, and not too sweet.
- Top with fresh raspberries: Fresh raspberries add a pop of tartness and color to the dessert. If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
Conclusion:
Peach Melba is a classic dessert that is both elegant and delicious. It's perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat.
