Double Peach Mousse Recipes

PEACH MOUSSE RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel and dice peaches (you should have 3 cups diced), transfer to a blender or food processor, add 2 Tbsp lemon juice right away to keep from discoloring and blend until pureed. Keep puree in the blender jar until ready to use.
• In a small sauce pan (off the heat), add 1/4 cup cold water and sprinkle top with 1 Tbsp gelatin. Let sit 5 minutes to soften then stir in 1/3 cup sugar and place over medium heat, stirring just until sugar has dissolved (1 to 2 min) then remove from heat - don't overcook.
• Add gelatin mixture to the fruit puree and blend until well combined. Cover with lid and chill in refrigerator until mixture begins to thicken (2 hours).
• Once puree starts to thicken, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into fruit mixture, mixing until smooth. Divide evenly between 6 ramekins or serving glasses and refrigerate until set.
• In a small saucepan, combine sliced peach, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 Tbsp lemon juice. Place over med/high heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely before spooning it over your peach mousse. Garnish with mint if desired.

DOUBLE DARE PEACHES

Remove and discard the peppers, then stir the peaches into the flavored butter. Increase the heat to medium-high. Cook and stir until the peaches begin to sizzle in the butter, then stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon.

• Spoon the peaches into individual bowls. Scoop the ice cream over the peaches, and sprinkle with peanut brittle to serve.

DOUBLE-CRUST PEACH PIE WITH FROZEN PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a 9-inch pie pan with 1/2 tablespoon melted butter and dust completely with 1 tablespoon flour; shake off the excess.
• Line the bottom and sides of the pie pan with 1 pie crust. Poke the bottom and sides of the dough with a fork to provide venting. Brush the edges of the crust with remaining melted butter.
• Place sliced peaches in a large bowl and pour off excess liquid.
• Mix 1/3 cup flour, sugar, pectin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a separate bowl. Pour over the peaches and mix gently.
• Pour into the pie crust, and dot with 4 teaspoons butter. Cover with the second pie crust and fold the edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a fork. Poke the top crust gently with a fork 6 or so times and cut a modest center hole to vent steam. Cover the edges of the pie with strips of aluminum foil to prevent excess browning or burning.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents, 40 to 45 minutes more. Cool before serving.

DOUBLE PEACH MOUSSE

Steps:

• Combine dried peaches and water in heavy medium saucepan. Let stand 30 minutes. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently until peaches are very soft, about 20 minutes.

• Add gelatin to hot peach mixture and stir until dissolved. Transfer to processor and puree until smooth. Pour into large bowl. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally (do not let peach mixture set up.)
• Add custard to peach mixture and whisk to combine. Using electric mixer, beat cream in medium bowl to soft peaks. Mix 1/3 of whipped cream into peach mixture to lighten. Gently fold in remaining cream in 2 batches.
• Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in another medium bowl until frothy. Gradually add remaining 3 1/2 tablespoons sugar and beat until smooth, glossy and almost stiff but not dry. Fold 1/3 of whites into peach mixture to lighten. Gently fold in remaining whites in 2 batches. Cover bowl with plastic and refrigerate mousse 8 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Soften gelatin in water mixed with brandy or in plain water in a small heatproof container such as a metal measuring cup. Dissolve gelatin by setting the container in a pan of simmering water. When the gelatin has dissolved, remove it from the heat but leave it sitting in the warm water.
• Beat egg yolks. Gradually beat in one cup of the sugar and continue beating until the mixture is thick and light.
• Force peaches through a sieve or food mill or puree by machine.
• Combine gelatin with a small amount of the pureed peaches, then mix with remaining peaches. Stir peaches into egg and sugar mixture.
• Beat egg whites until stiff. Whip cream with two tablespoons sugar. Fold egg whites, then whipped cream, into peach mixture lightly but thoroughly. Pour mixture into a six-cup souffle dish or serving bowl and chill at least six hours.
• Whip remaining cream and pipe it on top of the mousse as a decoration. Garnish with mint leaves before serving.
