Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 1 large can peaches in syrup (approx. 820 g) Drain and reserve syrup
  • 200 ml very cold heavy cream (for whipping) Must be very cold for best whipping results
  • 200 g cream cheese (spreadable, natural)
  • 1 small can condensed milk (approx. 395 g)
  • 10 g unflavored gelatin (1 packet) To be hydrated and dissolved
  • 60 ml water (to hydrate the gelatin) Used for gelatin hydration
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons syrup from the can (to taste) Add according to sweetness preference
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) Optional flavor boost
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Drain the peaches and reserve the syrup. Pat the peaches dry lightly to prevent excess liquid.
  2. Hydrate the gelatin by mixing it with water and letting it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then dissolve it in a double boiler or microwave. Let it cool to lukewarm.
Mixing
  1. Process the peaches into a smooth cream, passing through a sieve if needed. Add 2 tablespoons of syrup and process again.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the condensed milk until smooth. Add vanilla and salt.
  3. Mix the peach puree into the cream cheese mixture until fully integrated. Adjust the syrup to taste.
  4. Add the dissolved gelatin in a thin stream while mixing.
Whipping and Assembly
  1. Whip the heavy cream to medium peaks and gently fold it into the peach mixture in batches.
  2. Transfer the mousse to a piping bag and distribute into glasses, forming a swirl.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. For best results, prepare the day before.

Notes

Cover each glass tightly with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days. If you need to keep the mousse longer, transfer to an airtight container and use within 4 days; texture is best when enjoyed fresh.
