Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the fresh raspberries gently under cool running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside a few whole raspberries for garnish.
- Peel the ripe peaches by making a small X-mark at the bottom of each peach and blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Carefully remove the peach skin using your fingers, then slice and dice the peaches into small, uniform pieces.
- Place the diced peaches in a blender or food processor. Add honey and fresh lemon juice to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
- Blend the peaches until smooth and creamy, creating a silky peach puree. If desired, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve for an extra smooth texture.
- In serving glasses or dessert bowls, layer the fresh raspberries and peach puree, creating an attractive presentation.
- Garnish with the reserved whole raspberries on top and optionally drizzle with an extra touch of honey.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and provide a refreshing dessert experience.
Tips
- Choose Perfectly Ripe Fruits: The secret to an outstanding puree is using peak-season, fully ripe peaches and raspberries. Look for peaches that yield slightly when pressed and raspberries that are deep red and plump.
- Blanching Technique Matters: When removing peach skins, ensure you don't leave them in boiling water too long. 30 seconds is perfect – any longer and you'll start cooking the fruit.
- Strain for Silkiness: If you prefer an ultra-smooth puree, definitely use a fine-mesh sieve to remove any potential pulp or seeds.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Letting the dessert rest in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Presentation is Key: Use clear glasses to show off the beautiful layers of raspberries and peach puree, making your dessert as visually appealing as it is delicious.
