Sweet peach flavor and creamy coconut layers come together in this easy Peaches and Cream Gelatin Recipe. Made with peach juice, coconut milk, pure maple syrup, and Great Lakes Wellness Beef Gelatin, it is a refreshing dessert that is dairy-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.
The alternating layers make this recipe look impressive, but preparing it is surprisingly simple. Allow each layer to firm briefly before adding the next, then chill the finished gelatin until completely set.
Ingredients
Peach Layer
- 2 cups peach juice
- 2 tablespoons Great Lakes Wellness Beef Gelatin
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Cream Layer
- 1 standard can (about 13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Great Lakes Wellness Beef Gelatin
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Directions
- Whisk the coconut milk until smooth. Pour ¼ cup of the peach juice into one small bowl and ¼ cup of the coconut milk into a second bowl.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Beef Gelatin evenly over the liquid in each bowl. Let both mixtures sit for approximately 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- Add the remaining peach juice to one small saucepan and the remaining coconut milk to another. Add the corresponding bloomed gelatin and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to each saucepan.
- Warm both mixtures over low heat, stirring frequently, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not allow the mixtures to boil. Remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly before layering.
- Pour a thin layer of the peach mixture into an 8-inch square dish or another shallow container. Place it in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or until firm enough to support the next layer.
- Add a layer of the coconut mixture and return the dish to the freezer for another 5–10 minutes. Continue alternating the peach and cream mixtures until both are used. If either mixture begins to set in the saucepan, warm it gently until pourable.
- After adding the final layer, refrigerate the gelatin for at least 1 hour, or until completely set.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled.
With its fruity peach layers and smooth coconut finish, this colorful gelatin dessert is a simple option for summer gatherings or an afternoon treat. Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
