Ingredients

• 4 Ripe peaches
• 500 ml Water
• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 200 g Fresh raspberries
• 30 g Powdered sugar
• 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
• 4 Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium saucepan of water (enough to fully submerge the peaches) to a boil.

Step 2

Score a shallow 'X' on the bottom of each peach using a knife. Blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer them immediately to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Step 3

Peel the skins off the peaches gently, slice them in half, and remove the pits.

Step 4

In a separate saucepan, combine 500ml of water, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the peeled peach halves to the simmering syrup. Poach the peaches for about 8-10 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Remove the peaches and let them cool.

Step 6

While the peaches are cooling, prepare the raspberry sauce. Blend fresh raspberries and powdered sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Step 7

Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, resulting in a silky sauce.

Step 8

To assemble the dessert, place two peach halves in a serving bowl. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream over the peaches.

Step 9

Drizzle the raspberry sauce generously over the ice cream and peaches.

Step 10

Garnish with a fresh mint leaf if desired, and serve immediately.
