A silky, subtly boozy dessert featuring fresh peaches and bourbon, perfect for summer gatherings and easy to prepare at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ tsp (about 7 g) gelatin powder
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water
  • 3 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) bourbon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Optional garnish: fresh peach slices, mint leaves, toasted almonds

Instructions

  1. Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle 2 ½ teaspoons (7 g) gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until fully absorbed and gelatinous.
  2. Peel and chop 3 ripe peaches. Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside ¼ cup (60 ml) of puree for topping and fold the rest into the cream mixture later.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, and ⅓ cup (65 g) sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling (around 170°F or 75°C).
  4. Remove pan from heat. Stir the bloomed gelatin into the hot cream mixture until completely dissolved, about 1 minute.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) bourbon, and the peach puree (except the reserved ¼ cup). Whisk to combine evenly.
  6. Pour mixture evenly into 6 serving glasses or ramekins. Cover each with plastic wrap or lids. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  7. Just before serving, mix reserved ¼ cup peach puree with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice. Spoon over each panna cotta and garnish with fresh peach slices, mint leaves, or toasted almonds if desired.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

Do not boil the cream mixture to avoid ruining texture and flavor. Bloom gelatin properly to prevent lumps. Chill panna cotta for at least 4 hours or overnight for best set. Use ripe peaches for best flavor. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk, and use agar-agar instead of gelatin.
