Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe peaches (peeled, pitted, and chopped)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 0.25 cups cold water
- 1.25 cups heavy cream (chilled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by peeling and pitting the peaches. Chop them into small pieces and place them in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a peach puree.
In a small pot, combine the peach puree with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
After blooming, warm the gelatin mixture in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until it fully dissolves. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the peach mixture and mix until well combined. Allow this mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled peach mixture into the whipped cream in batches, being careful not to deflate the cream. Continue folding until fully incorporated and smooth.
Transfer the Peach Bavarian mixture into a serving bowl or individual dessert molds. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until the dessert is fully set.
To serve, unmold if using molds, or simply scoop into serving dishes. Garnish with powdered sugar or additional peach slices, if desired. Serve chilled.
