Ingredients

1/4 cup Sugar

1
In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup sugar and the gelatin.
2
Stir in 1/2 cup cold water.
3
Cook and stir over medium heat until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved.

Stir the peach puree into the warm gelatin mixture.
7
Gradually stir the gelatin-peach mixture into the yogurt until well combined.

Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar to the egg whites, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Note

For best results, ensure the gelatin mixture is cooled but not set before adding it to the yogurt. If the mixture is too hot, it may curdle the yogurt.

The egg whites and cream should be folded in gently to maintain the airiness of the dessert. Overmixing can deflate the texture.

This dessert can be made in a single large mold and sliced for serving, or portioned into individual glasses.

If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them before blending. Frozen peaches work well but should be thawed and drained if excess liquid is present.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
