With tender poached peaches, bright raspberry sauce, and vanilla ice cream, peach Melba is the fancy-feeling and low-effort dessert to make all summer long.
Frozen raspberries are almost always packaged at the peak of seasonal ripeness, which guarantees the sauce has a vibrant raspberry flavor.Poaching the peaches in a syrup of honey, lemon juice, and vanilla imparts the fruit with a bright, floral note.
Named after the Australian opera singer Nellie Melba, the dish was created by the legendary French chef Auguste Escoffier in the 1890s when he was working at the Savoy Hotel in London. Melba was in town to perform in the opera, Escoffier—inspired by the swan in the opera—carved a swan out of ice and used it as a vessel for serving Melba a dessert of poached peaches and vanilla ice cream topped with spun sugar.
Because the ingredients are so simple, I’d advise getting your hands on the best peaches and vanilla ice cream possible. You could make the sauce with fresh raspberries, but since frozen berries are almost always packaged at the peak of seasonal ripeness, I find they're more consistently delicious.
