Note

For best texture, ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed but still cold before folding.

You can substitute fresh peaches with frozen peaches; thaw and drain them well before chopping to avoid excess moisture.

If you prefer a sweeter mousse, add a few drops of liquid stevia or adjust the sugar substitute according to your taste.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The vanilla wafers may soften over time.
