Directions
-
If using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and halve them. If using canned peaches, drain and rinse them well to remove excess syrup.

Place the peach halves cut-side up on 6 individual dessert plates or in shallow bowls.
-
Spoon a dollop of low-fat vanilla yogurt into the center of each peach half or alongside it.
-
Drizzle the raspberry puree over the peaches and yogurt, allowing it to pool slightly at the base of the plate for visual appeal.
-
Serve immediately while the yogurt is cold and the fruit is fresh.

Note
For best results, use ripe, juicy peaches to maximize natural sweetness without added sugar.
If making ahead, keep the yogurt and raspberry puree separate from the peaches until just before serving to prevent sogginess.
For a richer version, substitute the yogurt with lightly sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves or whole raspberries for an elegant presentation.
