MarthaStewartWanabe's Note:

This is a nice way to celebrate the classic peach melba flavor combination of peaches, raspberries and vanilla. This dessert is made up of an angel food dessert cup filled with warm raspberry sauce, dolloped with vanilla ice cream and topped with a warm peach sauce. A flavor adventure for your tastebuds!
