FAQ

Can I use canned peaches?

Fresh or frozen peaches work best, but drained canned peaches can work in a pinch.

Why is my mousse runny?

Usually from excess moisture in the peaches or under-whipped cream.

Can I make this ahead?

Yes. Peach mousse works great as a make-ahead dessert.

Do I need to peel peaches?

Peeling creates the smoothest texture, but it’s optional.
