Pêche Melba has definitely been my favorite dessert I’ve made this summer season! We love the freshness from the peaches, the sweetness from the raspberry ‘coulis’, and the refreshing taste from the ice cream. This was actually the dessert we made for our joint-birthday party this past July, and our guests were asking for more!
Pêche Melba was created by French chef Auguste Escoffier in the 1890s while he was working at a London restaurant named Savoy. This is a well-known dessert in France that many restaurants offer on their menu, especially during the summer season.
Optionally, you can make ‘crème chantilly’ and top your peaches and ice cream with it before pouring the raspberry coulis.
