What’s to love about this dessert?

  • This deconstructed peach melba is super easy to make#
  • It’s delicious and healthy too.
  • Everyone loves a hnad-on dessert at the table, it’s all about sharing and fun!
  • This is a healthy dessert, swapping out the usual ice-cream for Greek yogurt.

A deconstructed peach melba is so much more fun and grown-up than the usual peach half and a dollop of ice-cream that so many restaurants think does the job. My version is healthy, sugar-free and just jolly damn tasty, the perfect end to a super supper.

What is a peach melba?

Peach Melba is a dessert of peaches and raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream. It was invented in 1892 or 1893 by the French chef Auguste Escoffier at the Savoy Hotel, London, to honour the Australian soprano Nellie Melba.

Ingredients for this sugar-free peach melba

There are 2 peaches, some raspberries, squeeze lemon juice, chopped fresh basil, plain yogurt, vanilla extract, a pinch of dried chilli and a little coconut oil. 

Just look at all that healthy goodness and not a touch of sugar in sight, result!

Can you use frozen raspberries?

Yes you can use frozen raspberries for the raspberry sauce but they aren’t quite so nice for scattering around with the peaches as they don’t hold their shape well after being frozen.

Make your own yogurt!

How to make a deconstructed peach melba

This little recipe is more of construction job though you are deconstructing the finished product if you see what I mean.

The only cooking however is that you are expected to approach the cooker for just a few minutes to grill the peaches and warm up your raspberries to create the sauce.
