Ingredients
For the peaches:
- 4 ripe peaches (white or yellow)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the raspberry sauce:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the base and topping:
- 200 grams vanilla Greek yoghurt (or mascarpone for indulgence)
- 1 cup muesli or crushed amaretti biscuits
- Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Roast the Peaches
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Halve and pit the peaches, then place them on a baking tray cut side up. Drizzle with honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Next, roast for 15 to 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelised.
2. Make the Raspberry Sauce
Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down into a sauce (about 5 minutes). For a smoother finish, strain the sauce through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
3. Assemble the Dessert
In serving glasses or bowls, begin with a layer of muesli or crushed biscuits. Add the roasted peaches, followed by a dollop of vanilla yoghurt. Then, drizzle the raspberry sauce generously over the top to complete the layers.
4. Garnish and Serve
To finish, top with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately to enjoy its fresh, summery taste.
