Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 eggs, separated
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• ¼ cup cold water
• ⅛ teaspoon almond extract
• 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
• 1 (16 ounce) can peaches, drained and syrup reserved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour reserved peach syrup into a measuring cup. Add enough cold water to make 1 cup. Pour into the top of a double boiler. Sprinkle in gelatin; let stand, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Beat egg yolks and 1/4 cup cold water together in a bowl. Stir into gelatin mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, over simmering water, until gelatin dissolves and sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Stir lemon juice, almond extract, and salt into the sauce. Refrigerate until cooled.

Step 4

Place drained peaches in a blender; blend until smooth. Stir into the gelatin mixture and refrigerate until mixture mounds up slightly.

Step 5

Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Fold into peach mixture.

Step 6

Beat heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with a chilled whisk until stiff peaks form. Fold into peach mixture. Pour into a large dish and chill until set, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
