Servings 4 people
Ingredients
Råcreme (vanilla cream)
- 4 pasteurised egg yolks
- 250 ml whipping cream (38% fat)
- 60 g caster sugar
- 1/2 vanilla pod or 1-1 ½ tsp vanilla sugar
Marinated peaches
- 4 peaches
- 300 ml water
- 100 g caster sugar
- 1/2-1 vanilla pod depending on size
Nut crumble
- 80 g rolled oats
- 60 g hazelnuts and/or almonds, roughly chopped
- 30 g butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla sugar
- 1 pinch salt
To serve
- Fresh raspberries
- Mint or lemon balm
Instructions
Marinated peaches
- Halve the peaches, remove the stones and cut them into wedges.
- Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod and mix them with a little of the sugar.
- Put the water, sugar, vanilla seeds and the vanilla pod in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Let it boil until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the peach wedges to the syrup, bring back to the boil for about a minute and turn off the heat.
- Now add the rum, if you want it in your marinated peaches.
- Pour the peaches and syrup into a scalded (sterilised) preserving jar, put in the fridge and let them cool completely.
Nut crumble
- Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the oats, chopped nuts, vanilla sugar, honey and a pinch of salt.
- Toast the crumble over a medium heat until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes. Stir regularly so it doesn't catch and burn.
- Spread the crumble out on a sheet of baking parchment and leave to cool.
Råcreme (vanilla cream)
- Whip the cream to soft peaks. It must not be over-whipped; it should be soft and smooth.
- Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod and mix them with a little of the sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale, thick and fluffy; all the sugar should be dissolved.
- Fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture, stirring gently so it keeps its airy texture. Chill until ready to serve.
- Arrange the cooled peach wedges in pretty serving glasses, scatter with fresh raspberries, and top with råcreme and crumble.
