Sparkling Peach Dessert

If time allows, chill the wine glasses or dessert dishes first.

Ingredients

• 4 ripe peaches
• 4 scoops raspberry sorbet, about 1 cup in total

• 8 tbsp. sparkling white wine, well chilled
• 4 tbsp. chopped toasted almonds

How to make it  10 minutes



• 1

  Rinse the peaches and pat dry with paper towels. Halve each fruit and discard the pit. Using a small sharp knife, dice the flesh, then divide it between 4 wine glasses or dessert dishes.
• 2

  Rinse an ice cream scoop with hot water and use to scoop the sorbet. Put a scoop on top of the peach in each glass.
• 3

  Add 2 tablespoons sparkling wine to each glass, then sprinkle with the toasted almonds.

Some More Ideas

• If peaches are unavailable, ripe nectarines make a good substitute.
• When soft fruit is at is best, make Sparkling Berry Dessert. Use 10 ounces strawberries, halved, or a mixture of raspberries and blueberries. You can also use a mixed-berry sorbet, instead of raspberry, or frozen vanilla yogurt.
• Replace the almonds with 4 tablespoons chopped, toasted hazelnuts.
• Instead of sparkling wine (or even champagne), use a dessert wine, such as French Beaume de Venise.
