What do you do when you act like a lunatic at the farmer’s market and buy too many peaches?

I know!  I know!  I just made blueberry mousse like a week ago!

I couldn’t help it.  Lisa was at our house and we were brewing beer. I made the blueberry mousse (maybe the beer kicked in?)  and I had an epiphany.

Bourbon Peach Mousse.  Yessssss!  Lisa agreed!

Everything’s better with bourbon!  Happy weekend, y’all!

Bourbon Peach Mousse

Ingredients

  • 4 peaches pitted, peeled, and chopped
  • 2-4 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • Mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill bowl of a stand mixer and the whisk attachment in the freezer for 20-30 minutes prior to whipping the cream
  2. Reserve a couple of tablespoons of uncooked peaches for garnish, or reserve some after the next step
  3. Combine peaches, bourbon, cinnamon, and sugar in a large bowl and let it hang out for about an hour at room temperature
  4. Heat a skillet on medium high and add peach-bourbon mixture
  5. Cook on medium high until bubbly, reduce heat and continue cooking until peaches are soft, 10-15 minutes
  6. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature
  7. Add heavy cream to the mixing bowl that has been chilling in the freezer and attach whisk
  8. Whip cream on medium high until soft peaks form, 3-4 minutes
  9. Transfer peach-bourbon mixture to the bowl of a food processor, add sour cream and cream cheese and puree until smooth
  10. Add the peach mixture to the bowl with the whipped cream, fold gently to combine
  11. Transfer the mouse to a zip top bag and cut a small piece off the corner
  12. Pipe into dessert cups
  13. Garnish with reserved peaches and mint, if desired

    This is why I have to keep myself from farmer’s markets, as I end up buying a huge amount of one thing and then never know what to do with it. I should have known that bourbon is always the answer 🙂
