Peach Jello Blancmange

Peach Jello Blancmange

This recipe was inspired by one on the Taste of Home website. Blancmange (blah-manjh) is a French dessert that is made with milk and gelatin, akin to Italian panna cotta. This is made with Cool Whip instead and orange jello. It's very quick and easy to assemble, tastes divine, transports well and is a cool, velvety dessert for these dog days of summer.

1 (14.5 oz.) can sliced peaches, drained and chopped, juices set aside

2 (3 oz.) pkgs. orange jello

2 cups boiling water

1 (8 oz.) tub Vanilla Cool Whip

1 tsp. pure almond extract

Directions

2. Fold almond extract into Cool Whip and set aside.
3. Remove jello from fridge and mix with peaches and Cool Whip until well combined.
4. Refrigerate overnight or a minimum of 6 hours.
5. Slice and serve chilled.
