Method
Poaching Peaches
Prepare the Peaches
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Score the bottom of each peach with a small 'X'.
Poach the Peaches
Gently place the peaches in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes. Remove and transfer to an ice bath to cool. Once cool, peel the skins off.
Poach in Syrup
Add the peeled peaches to the syrup and poach for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let them sit in the syrup until ready to serve.
Raspberry Sauce
Prepare the Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until raspberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Strain if desired.
Praline
Make the Praline
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns golden brown. Stir in sliced almonds and pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool. Once hardened, break into pieces.
Assembly
Assemble the Dessert
Slice the poached peaches and place them on a serving plate. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with raspberry sauce, and sprinkle with praline pieces.
