hey dudes I'm Hilah and today on Hilah
cooking we're making Peach Melba this is
one of the most famous desserts invented
by Chef Escoffier it's fresh peaches
poached in syrup served with raspberry
sauce and ice cream it's perfect for
summertime and it's perfect for parties
because you can make it a couple of days
ahead of time so let's get started
because you are gonna love it
start off making a vanilla scented
simple syrup with sugar and water and
one vanilla bean pod split it down the
center and break it over a little bit to
let those aromas come out simmer that
together for five minutes while you have
and pit your peaches
[Music]
poach the peaches for two to three
minutes on each side until the skins
start to become a little bit loose you
want to use peaches that are ripe but
not soft and they should smell really
peachy but still be a little bit firm
[Music]
scoop the peaches out as they are
poached and put them in a bowl to cool
[Music]
once they're cooled you should just be
able to slip the skins off easily like
you're slipping off the ladies lingerie
[Music]
then pour the syrup over the peaches and
let them chill you can make them up to
two days ahead of time
[Music]
for the sauce we're gonna use one bag of
frozen raspberries or you could use
three cups of fresh raspberries the
raspberries have been thawed clearly
we're gonna whizz them up in the blender
with a couple tablespoons of powdered
sugar and now the hardest part of this
recipe run that through a little sieve
to get all the seeds out so that you
don't end up with seeds in your teeth
because that would be super embarrassing
[Music]
finally we'll add a little bit of lemon
juice just to perk it back up put it
into our serving container and stick
that in the fridge too now when you're
ready to serve you just get a scoop of
vanilla ice cream add a peach half or
even two if you're feeling a little bit
gluttonous and then some of your
raspberry sauce and that's all folks
then you just eat it you devour it
because it's delicious and delicious
[Music]
