Ingredients
  

Vanilla Nice Cream

  • 1 packet mori-nu silken tofu
  • 1 tbsp vanilla essence
  • 4 dates
  • ¾ cup plant-based milk

Raspberry Puree

  • 1 punnet fresh raspberries
  • 2 dates
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup water

Poached Peaches

  • 4 yellow peaches firm not soft
  • 1 litre water
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 vanilla pod

Almond Slithers

  • 2 tbsp almond slithers

Instructions
 

Vanilla Nice Cream

  • Add all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into a sealed container and freeze for 8 hours.

Raspberry Puree

  • Add all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into a container and place into the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Poached Peaches

  • To remove the skin of the peaches, place them into a pot of one litre boiling water for one minute then move them to ice-cold water for a further minute, keep the pot water for the next step. Then peel.
  • Cut the vanilla pod lengthways and remove the seeds, add it to the pot of water used above along with the peeled peaches and the maple syrup. Summer on low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the peaches from the pot and allow to cool before quartering. Set aside for assembling.

Toasted Almond Slithers

  • Heat a small frypan or skillet, and add the almond slithers. For around 3 minutes dry-fry them keeping them moving so they don't burn. Set aside. This method brings out the taste of the almonds with the release of their natural oils and gives them a nice crunch.

Creating Peach Melba

  • In sundae glasses or dessert bowls add three scoops of the vanilla nice cream.
  • Place the peaches evenly between the dishes then pour through the raspberry puree allowing it to seep right through. Finally, add the fresh raspberries to the top and sprinkle with the toasted almond slithers.
