Fresh peaches are roasted with brown sugar to enhance their natural sweetness. The soft peaches are then topped with a delicate pink whipped cream and crunchy toasted pistachios. The raspberries add a wonderful sharpness to the cream which balances out the peaches. The toasted pistachios add a welcome crunch and a pop of vibrant green.
This dessert comes together so quickly and requires minimal prep. The peaches can be roasted while you are eating your dinner for a deliciously warm, syrupy dessert, but they can also be made in advance and assembled just before serving. The roasted peaches are delicious hot or cold.
