Peach melba takes its name from "peche," the French word for "peach," and the famous opera singer Nellie Melba. With its elegant presentation and refreshing taste, peach melba stands out among classic fruit desserts. Here is the step-by-step peach melba recipe and the necessary ingredients for those who want to try it at home...
After peeling the peaches, remove the pits and slice them into thin pieces. Then, place the peach slices in a small saucepan and cook them briefly with water in which sugar has been dissolved and a cinnamon stick until the peaches are slightly softened. After removing from the heat, let the peaches cool. If you wish, you can strain the remaining syrup and keep only the peach slices.
To prepare the sauce, puree the raspberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a blender, and cook for a few minutes over low heat. Let the prepared sauce cool as well.
For the presentation, place the peach slices in bowls and add two or three scoops of vanilla ice cream on top. Finally, drizzle the cold raspberry sauce you prepared over the ice cream and serve your dessert.
If you wish, you can add a teaspoon of butter to the syrup in which you cooked the peaches to make them look shinier. Peach melba, which will be a staple of summer months, is a candidate to be the star of your dinner parties.
