Ingredients for this Easy Peach Melba Sundae

The first main ingredient is Peach. I have used fresh peaches and have infused them in sugar and vanilla syrup. One can use canned peaches too. If using canned peaches, they would have sugar in them so that one can use them directly too.

The second main ingredient is raspberry sauce, which is typically made by mixing raspberries and sugar, or you can use raspberry jam. I did not add sugar to the raspberries to avoid making them too sweet. However, if you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add sugar. Strawberries can be used as a substitute for raspberries.

The next main ingredient is Vanilla Ice Cream. I just used store-bought Ice Cream here. However, one can make it too at home, check out here on how to make Easy Vanilla Ice Cream at home. Ice Cream can even be replaced with whipped cream.

Water, Sugar, and Vanilla Extract are used to infuse the Peaches.

Notes

Standard US-size cups and spoons are used. 1 Cup=235 ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml, 1 tablespoon = 15 ml.
The nutritional value above mentioned is using a full 1/2 cup of sugar, it would be less as we are poaching and not using the complete sugar syrup.
The leftover sugar syrup can be refrigerated and used as syrup in other recipes.
