Peaches are wonderfully low in calories and packed with vitamin C, so you can feel good about indulging. The beauty of this recipe is that most home cooks already have puff pastry in the freezer, making it incredibly practical for unexpected guests. Caramelized peaches paired with tart raspberries and creamy vanilla ice cream create pure magic on the plate.
