I thought this was fabulous. The flavors were very satisfying and the texture was just perfect. I put it in pretty glass dishes and refrigerated for several hours. I garnished with a raspberry on each surrounded by small thin peach slices (kind of like a flower hehe) and then a small piece of mint on each :-) looked so pretty! Thanks for this lovely dessert. I will make this again :-) -
This was summer on a spoon! I love the light texture and fruity flavor. Perfect for those hot days where baking is out of the question. My peaches were not yet ripe, so I used four - 4 oz. containers of Dole peaches (drained) and whipping cream because we hate the chemical flavor of whipped topping. Even though it wasn't stated I used the small size (3 oz.) peach jello. I also think this would be great for a summertime dinner party - no baking and can be made ahead! Can't wait to try with fresh peaches or do a strawberry version! Thanks for posting!

This had a great flavor, but it didn't thicken up right. I put it in the freezer, and that seemed to help. Wonder if its because I used sugar free jello? -
Mmmmm...delicious, light and refreshing! Super easy to make. Mine didn't set up as much as I had hoped, but the flavor made up for that. Thanks for sharing the recipe. -
I made this as dessert for last night using canned peaches but otherwise followed recipe as written and got 4 large serves but I personally found it a bit too sweet but the DM and the DS thought it was great so they get seconds tonight, thank you Lorac for an easy dessert that I can whip together for the DM and DS (I'm not a big eater of desserts), made for your Cookathon.
