The ultimate end of summer dessert – Peach Melba! Sweet, caramelized peaches served with homemade raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream

I cannot believe September is already here! Where has this summer gone?

School is back (unfortunately) and we are slowly, I mean really slowly adjusting (or better said trying to 🙂 ) to the new schedule. Goodbye sleeping in late, lazy days and tons of fun. My poor little girl came home yesterday with homework. Homework on the first day! I guess we just have to speed up into school mood.

Peach Melba recipe

Well, I knew it was going to be a hard and long day so I thought an ice cream dessert and some peaches would make her happy. She adores both of them! So, I made Peach Melba to surprise her after school. Peach Melba is a famous dessert, created by French chef, Auguste Escoffier to honor the Australian soprano Nellie Melba.

Wow! Honestly, one of the best desserts I’ve had all summer. And really easy too! Beautiful, caramelized peaches, served with homemade raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream…ah! just heaven!

Peach Melba recipe

In the original recipe, peaches are blanched for a couple of seconds and then peeled. I just grilled them! I think peaches are terrific grilled for a couple of minutes over a medium flame. The heat of the grill brings out the natural sugars and softens the flesh. The result is a CRAZY yum…sweet, slightly caramelized and soft peaches.

Serve them of top of a homemade raspberry sauce and 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, sprinkle some sliced almonds over and there you have the ultimate end of summer dessert!

    Your girl is lucky! I bet she feels much better with this gorgeous little treat. The grilled peaches sound lovely, and so do the raspberry sauce! I sure will miss the summer fruits, but not the HOT weather. 😛

    What a gorgeous dessert that I’m going to have to give a try this weekend. I’m overloaded with amazing peaches at the moment, but seem to be in a rut of plopping them on ice cream with maple syrup. Time to switch things up!
