Summer Peach Mousse Trifles

Print Recipe

A vibrant and refreshing dessert featuring layers of light peach mousse, moist cake, and fresh diced peaches, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, diced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 yellow cake mix
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the cake mix package (usually around 350°F/175°C). Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour it into a greased baking pan and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean—about 25 to 30 minutes. Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  2. While the cake cools, start by dicing the peaches into small, bite-sized pieces. If they are a little tart, sprinkle them with a bit of sugar and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream and add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the diced peaches into the whipped cream, saving a few pieces for later layering if desired.
  5. Start by layering cake at the bottom of your trifle glass or dessert bowl, followed by a generous layer of the peach mousse, and diced peaches. Repeat layers until glasses are full.
  6. Once assembled, place the trifles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  7. Just before serving, top with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Feel free to prepare the trifles a day in advance and keep them refrigerated. Variations include using different fruits or types of cake.
