Peach Melba
Ingredients
Serves: 2
- 2 fresh peaches, sliced with skin on
- 20 raspberries
- 200ml double cream
- 100g icing sugar
- 20g caster sugar
- 50ml water
- 1 vanilla pod (whole, seeded)
- 50g almond flakes
Cooking instructions
- Melt a little sugar in the same amount of water in a saucepan to create a syrup. Add the sliced peaches to the pan with the scraped vanilla pod and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool.
- Next prepare a raspberry coulis: put 10 of the raspberries into a saucepan with 20g sugar and 50ml water and bring to the boil. When the raspberries have broken down, strain the mixture through a sieve and set aside to cool.
- To make the Chantilly cream, whisk 200ml double cream, 100g icing sugar and the seeds of the vanilla pod together until it thickens.
- Toast the almonds in the oven at 180°C for 8 minutes until golden brown.
- Layer the peaches and the Chantilly cream in cocktail glasses.
- Finish with the toasted almonds, raspberry coulis and remaining fresh raspberries.
