Think of pêche Melba as France’s version of peaches and cream—but with that little extra je ne sais quoi.
The French bistro classic is a cup-held dessert of syrup-poached peaches served atop vanilla ice cream, all doused with a sweet-tart raspberry coulis. It’s a breeze to recreate at home, and is naturally best made at the height of summer, when peaches are at their sweetest, juiciest peak.
