Peach, white chocolate & tahini sundae
This is Maria Elia's Greek version of a peach melba. Velvety smooth white chocolate and tahini sauce is layered with loukoumi (Turkish delight) ice cream and juicy poached peaches, then topped with chewy fruit and nuts.
Ingreadient
- 90g white chocolate
- 40g tahini
- 70ml whipping cream
- 500ml tub The Levantine Table Turkish Delight Ice Cream (or Pomegranate & Rose Sorbet)
- ½ x 450g Essential Honey Greek Style Yogurt
- 2 x 40g Kind Fruit and Nut bars, broken into small pieces
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 4 small yellow-flesh peaches
Step by step
- For the peaches, put the sugar, whole peaches and 400ml water in a small saucepan. Bring up to a simmer, then reduce the heat and poach until the skins are easy to remove (about 5 minutes). Use tongs to transfer to a board, then carefully peel away the skin. Set aside to cool, then halve, discard the stones and halve again. Chill until needed.
- Meanwhile, chop the chocolate. Put the chocolate, tahini and cream in a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan filled with 2cm simmering water (ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and smooth (about 5 minutes). Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature.
- To assemble, spoon a little of the chocolate tahini sauce into the base of 4 sundae glasses, top each with ½ a peach, a generous scoop of ice cream followed by a spoonful of yogurt, then repeat with the remaining peaches, ice cream, tahini sauce and yogurt. Top with the crumbled fruit and nut bars and serve straight away.
