Momma Alice'S Cold Peach Souffle - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) can peaches, drained and syrup reserved
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
4 eggs, separated
1/4 cup cold water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Preparation

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.
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.
Stir lemon juice, almond extract, and salt into the sauce. Refrigerate until cooled.
Place drained peaches in a blender; blend until smooth. Stir into the gelatin mixture and refrigerate until mixture mounds up slightly.
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.
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.
