Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe peaches
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- optional (for garnish) fresh mint
Instructions
Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring them to ice water. The skins should peel off easily.
Pit the peaches and cut them into small chunks.
Add the peach chunks, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and lemon juice to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
Pour 3 tablespoons of cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over it. Let it bloom (soften) for 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat the gelatin mixture over low heat until completely dissolved, stirring constantly. Do not let it boil.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the blended peach puree until well-combined. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
While the peach mixture cools, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whip the heavy cream with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled peach mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mousse.
Spoon the mousse into dessert glasses or ramekins and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and sliced peach if desired before serving.
