Peach Melba sundae served in a dessert glass

150ml double cream
½ tsp vanilla extract
40g icing sugar
½ glass champagne
or prosecco, to serve (optional)
3 scoops vanilla ice cream
(the best quality you can afford)
2 peaches
cut into wedges
75g raspberries
1 tbsp almond flakes
toasted, to serve

For the sauce

75g raspberries
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 lime
juiced

Method

step 1
Put a sundae glass or bowl in the freezer to chill. To make the sauce, put the raspberries, sugar and lime juice in a blender, and blitz to a purée, loosening with a splash of water if necessary. Set aside. Meanwhile, whip the cream with the vanilla and icing sugar until it holds its shape, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle, if you like.
step 2
Pour the champagne or prosecco (if using) into the chilled glass, then neatly layer balls of ice cream, peach wedges, raspberries, raspberry sauce and cream, finishing with a big swirl of cream on the top. Scatter with the toasted almonds and serve straight away with two spoons.
