Easy Peach Melba Sundae
This Peach Melba Sundae with Rosé Wine is such a simple but impressive dessert. So perfect for entertaining and a winner at any dinner party. The sauce can be made ahead and the sundae takes minutes to prepare when you’re ready to serve.
What is Peach Melba?
If you’re not familiar, Peach Melba is a dessert made with peaches, vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. It comes in many different forms, including cakes, cobbler and, of course, cocktails, but there is nothing quite like the simple sundae.
Raspberry sauce with Rosé Wine
Everything is better with wine, right? My Peach Melba Sundae is spiked with some delicious Rosé Wine for a grown-up treat. I love serving this for dessert when hosting friends – it’s light and fresh with a little boozy kick.
I like to use a dry Provençal rosé (this one from Mirabeau is my absolute favourite) but anything you enjoy drinking will work well. You can use white wine too – I recommend something dry like Sauvignon Blanc. If you want to keep it non-alcoholic then swap the wine for the juice of ½ a lemon plus some water.
Canned Peaches
A typical ‘gourmet’ Peach Melba requires you to peel and poach fresh peaches. While that makes for a delicious dessert, I honestly just can’t be bothered. I use tinned peaches for this recipe, and while they may lack finesse, they taste great in this dish, and there’s no prep involved past opening the can.
No-Cook Raspberry Coulis
To make this delicious wine-spiked raspberry sauce is SO simple. You can use fresh or frozen raspberries. Simply soak them in some sugar and wine for at least an hour. Then blend and strain through a sieve. If you’re feeling lazy and don’t mind the seeds then you can even skip the sieving.
The sauce keeps well in the fridge for 3 days, so you can prep this in advance. When ready to serve, simply drain your tin of peaches and add a few slices to the bottom of a sundae glass (or use a large wine glass!). Top with a generous scoop of good-quality vanilla ice cream (I love Mackie’s) some more peach slices, and drizzle over a generous glug of raspberry sauce.
