I realize this is not super helpful for people following the recipe, but I converted this to a peach custard/ mousse that is so so good. What I did: rough puréed 3 cups of peaches and nectarines (to use up what I had), then added 1/3 cup of sugar and 2 T (2 packets) of gelatin. I let that bloom then heated to a simmer until dark gold, removed from the heat to cool, and mixed 2.25 cups of vanilla yogurt in without straining the puree. I put it in the refrigerator to set.
I’ve made this twice, 1st with white nectarines and then with yellow peaches. Left skins on and blended them in a high speed blender. I strained the 1st, but lost too much pulp, so didn’t strain the 2nd. Used gelatine in the 1st, but the texture was a bit gummy. I looked at “Hello, My Name Is Ice Cream” under stabilizers, and chose tapioca flour. I used 1 tsp tapioca flour mixed into ~ 1 oz cold water, stirred in after cooking. Residual heat is enough. Texture is smooth. Highly recommend it.
Thank you, nuriya75, for tips on revising this recipe into a mousse. My partner must restrict his sugar, and your revisions made for a delicious dessert. Once the mousse has set, just place the raspberries on top and, voila, you have a lovely presentation.
This is not a sorbet, but possibly a sherbet. Sorbets contain NO DAIRY. It’s an important difference for folks with allergies
Great recipe! I've made this with both fresh and canned peaches, and then also, with a mix of both peaches and (frozen) raspberries for the purée. Quick to prep, and has worked out well each time.
