Easy Peach Melba Layer Dessert with Tim Tam Crunch

This Peach Melba Layer Dessert is a good one to keep in the back pocket. When Friday rolls around and you don’t feel like cooking a dessert but want something sweet and light, this is easy to throw together.

Just use low sugar jelly, canned peaches, Greek yoghurt mixed with whipped cream, and a quick raspberry sauce made from frozen berries. Stack the layers in a bowl or glass, repeat a couple of times, and finish with a Tim Tam on top.

It tastes fresh and light, and there’s no oven, no baking, and not much washing up either. Great for the family or when you want a treat that’s a bit lighter than cake.

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁: Recipe by Janet, a good Kiwi twist on the classic Peach Melba.

Ingredients

    𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲:
  • 1 packet low sugar Aeroplane Raspberry Jelly
  • 1 x 825g can peach slices in juice, drained
  • 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿:
  • 200ml cream, softly whipped
  • 200g Greek yoghurt
  • 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲:
  • 1½ cups frozen raspberries
  • 1–2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 𝗧𝗼 𝗧𝗼𝗽:
  • 6 Tim Tams (classic or raspberry flavour)
  • A few extra peach slices or raspberries for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Prepare the Jelly: Dissolve the low sugar Aeroplane Raspberry Jelly powder in boiling water according to packet instructions. Pour the jelly evenly into your serving glasses or glass bowl. Refrigerate until fully set, about 2–3 hours.
  2. Make the Raspberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until syrupy. Push through a sieve if you prefer a smooth sauce. Cool completely.
  3. Mix the Creamy Layer: Gently fold whipped cream and Greek yoghurt together. Set aside.
  4. Layer the Dessert: On top of the set jelly, add a few peach slices, a dollop of the cream-yoghurt mix, and a drizzle of raspberry sauce. Repeat 2–3 times, finishing with cream and raspberry sauce on top.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  6. Serve: Just before serving, top with a whole or halved Tim Tam for crunch and fun. Add extra peach slices or fresh raspberries if you like.
