There are peaches and then there are peaches! Some peaches you buy at the store may taste rather flavorless and but fresh peaches can actually be the most juicy and delicious fruit ever. I recently received a box of peaches provided to me by The Peach Truck and man, they were so good. I had forgotten just how amazingly yummy a good peach can be. Flavorful peaches like that make you want to share the tasty summer experience with everyone. So here is a creamy, luscious dessert that allows the flavor of the fresh peaches to shine through- peach mousse. Next time you have some fresh peaches try this amazing recipe courtesy of The Peach Truck.

PEACH MOUSSE

This fresh peach recipe is courtesy of The Peach Truck.

What makes a good peach?

Generally, a good peach is a ripe peach. So farm fresh peaches where the peaches have been allowed to ripen on the tree tend to be abundant in flavor. That is why Stephen and Jessica Rose launched THE PEACH TRUCK to spread the mouth-watering joy of fresh peaches. They also offer a pantry of peach products available year-round and their The Peach Truck Cookbook (2019) with nationwide shipping.

While many classic mousse recipes use egg whites that are tempered, this fruit mousse recipe has no eggs. Instead there it uses just heavy cream as the aerator and unflavored gelatin as the thickener. That means this perfect summer dessert is even easier to make.

This creamy peach mouse should be served in individual servings with appropriate vessels being a ramekin, small bowl, or even wine glasses.

I hope you found these step by step instructions helpful. You basically make a gelatin mixture with fresh peach juice and add it to your sweetened peach puree. After allowing to chill, you fold in the fresh whipped cream to get that light fluffy texture and creamy finish. Let chill till it sets. Then you can top with fresh peach topping for an even more flavor and texture. This is the perfect peach dessert for a dinner party where you aim to impress. Enjoy!
