How to Make Peach Melba Tarts

  1. Toast almonds: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1/4 cup sliced almonds on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  2. Prepare raspberry sauce: In a small nonstick pan, melt 1/2 cup raspberry jam over low heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in 1 tablespoon of water, and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Add raspberries: Gently stir in 1 cup fresh raspberries to the cooled jam mixture.
  4. Soften ice cream: Place 2 cups of vanilla ice cream in the refrigerator to soften slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
  5. Prepare peaches: Gently fold 1 cup of diced fresh peaches, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, and the toasted almonds together in a bowl.
  6. Assemble tarts: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the raspberry sauce into each prepared tart shell.
  7. Add ice cream: Remove the softened ice cream from the refrigerator, stir until smooth, and gently fold in the peach mixture.
  8. Fill tarts: Quickly spoon about 1/3 cup of the ice cream mixture on top of the raspberries in each tart shell.
  9. Freeze: Place the filled tarts on a baking sheet and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until solid.
  10. Garnish & Serve: Before serving, garnish each tart with 2 fresh raspberries.
