Fluffy Yogurt Peach Melba (Print Version)

Light and refreshing with creamy yogurt, ripe peaches, tangy raspberry sauce, and crunchy toasted almonds.

# Components:

→ Fruit & Sauce

01 - 2 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
02 - 1 cup fresh raspberries
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
04 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

→ Yogurt Mixture

05 - 1 cup Greek yogurt
06 - 0.5 cup heavy cream, cold
07 - 2 tablespoons honey
08 - 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Topping

09 - 0.25 cup sliced almonds

→ Garnish

10 - Extra raspberries
11 - Fresh mint leaves

# Method:

01 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes, gently mashing the berries until they break down and form a sauce. Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds if desired. Set aside to cool.
02 - In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the sliced almonds, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant for about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
03 - In a medium bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form.
04 - In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
05 - To assemble, layer sliced peaches, yogurt mixture, and raspberry sauce in 4 serving glasses or cups. Repeat layers as desired.
06 - Top each cup with toasted almonds, extra raspberries, and a mint leaf for garnish. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.
