Note

For a vegan version, use agar-agar or a vegan gelatin substitute instead of regular gelatin, and use coconut cream or aquafaba instead of egg whites/dairy cream.

Fresh peaches can be used during peak season; peel and slice them before pureeing for a smoother texture.

Ensure the peach mixture is sufficiently thick before folding in the whipped component to maintain structure.

Garnish with fresh peach slices or mint leaves before serving for a pop of color.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
