Add the sliced peaches and fresh raspberries (or blueberries) to the saucepan.

Gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, just until the fruit is heated through but still holds its shape.
-
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Spoon the warm fruit compote into a serving bowl.
-
Top immediately with a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt.
-
Serve right away while the yogurt is cold and the fruit is warm.

Note
For a vegan version, substitute the vanilla frozen yogurt with a plant-based frozen dessert or coconut whipped cream.
Apricot preserves or orange marmalade work well as substitutes for peach preserves, offering a slightly different tartness or citrus note.
Leftover compote can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving or enjoy cold.
This dish is best served immediately after assembly to maintain the contrast between the warm fruit and cold topping.
