Going through my files this morning, I saw this recipe I made before leaving from Athens and thought I should share it while there are still fresh, juicy peaches in the market.
If you want to use canned peaches this is fine and it becomes the easiest dessert you can make in less than fifteen minutes and it is very delicious. All you need to do is whip the heavy cream and combine it with the other ingredients.
See How to peel stone fruit and make Peach compote same way as Apricot Compote.
If you are on a diet, skip the heavy cream and add more yoghurt with 2% fat. You can eat it for breakfast, as a snack or for a light dinner.
Peach Pavlova with Yoghurt and Honey, recipe by Ivy
Serves: 4 – 5
Ingredients:
- 500 ml of Greek strained yoghurt
- 500 ml of heavy cream
- 2 tsp icing sugar
- 1 heaped tbsp Greek honey or more if you want it sweeter
- 1 can (420 gr. net weight) of peach compote
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 20 meringues (see apple meringue galette)
- ½ cup roasted walnuts or pecans
Directions:
Whip the cream with icing sugar until soft peaks are formed (see step by step instructions). Add vanilla and mix. Combine yoghurt with whipped cream. Add honey and mix.
Add the fruit reserving some for the decoration and mix in with a spoon.
In a large bowl add layers of meringue and yoghurt cream. Continue until all the ingredients are used.
Sprinkle the roasted walnuts on top and decorate with peach slices.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

What a glorious peach dessert! I love everything in here, but it’s a sad reminder that peach season is nearly over.

This looks like my kind of dessert! It could be quite light, especially with more yogurt, and it does not have gluten for those who care about that. Greek yogurt is so popular in the States now, it’s an easy ingredient to find. Thanks for sharing another wonderful way to enjoy the last of the summer’s peaches!

Wow! This looks gorgeous and I bet it tastes good, too. Thanks for sharing.
Those peaches look fantastic. I love pavlova and have had many variants, but hose ripe and fresh peaches makes this one look irresistible. A recipe to copy and keep I think.
