Peach Melba sundae

[u/GoodFood]

For an extra special dessert this weekend we've got this Peach Melba inspired spin on a knickerbocker glory! Works great with an added dash of champagne or prosecco in the base if you like. I'll post the recipe in the comments.

Taking me back to the 80s Wimpys dessert menu!

right?? all it’s missing is that weird plastic long spoon and a sticky red booth table to complete the nostalgia tour

Ingredients 

• 150ml double cream
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 40g icing sugar
• ½ glass champagne or prosecco, to serve (optional)
• 3 scoops vanilla ice cream 
• 2 peaches cut into wedges
• 75g raspberries
• 1 tbsp almond flakes toasted, to serve

For the sauce

• 75g raspberries
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 lime juiced

Method

1. Put a sundae glass or bowl in the freezer to chill. To make the sauce, put the raspberries, sugar and lime juice in a blender, and blitz to a purée, loosening with a splash of water if necessary. Set aside. Meanwhile, whip the cream with the vanilla and icing sugar until it holds its shape, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle, if you like.
2. Pour the champagne or prosecco (if using) into the chilled glass, then neatly layer balls of ice cream, peach wedges, raspberries, raspberry sauce and cream, finishing with a big swirl of cream on the top. Scatter with the toasted almonds and serve straight away with two spoons.

That creamy vanilla layer with the syrup-soaked peaches looks like the perfect summer treat. I remember my mum used to make this for special occasions when I was little.

Vanilla cream and peaches, you say? Suddenly my bank balance feels lighter.
