Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 0.25 cup cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and pit the peaches, then puree them in a blender or food processor until smooth.
In a small saucepan, combine the peach puree and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Once bloomed, microwave the gelatin for 10-15 seconds until it dissolves completely.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the warm peach mixture until fully combined, then set it aside to cool to room temperature.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Stir in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
In another clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the egg whites into the peach mixture, followed by folding in the whipped cream. Be gentle to maintain the light, airy texture.
Spoon the peach chiffon mixture into serving cups or glasses, filling each about three-quarters full.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Garnish each cup with a mint leaf before serving, if desired. Enjoy!
