Ontario Peach Mousse

(NC) – ‘Every summer at the cottage, my mother took advantage of peach season to prepare this recipe that my brothers, my dad and I loved so much. It was the era of liqueurs and everyone had a bottle of Amaretto in their bar. Nice memories… Today, I still enjoy the freshness of this fragrant mousse.’ ~ Helene Laurendeau, TV host and nutritionist.
