Peach Moonshine
A refreshing peach-flavored moonshine dessert featuring fruity Jell-O and whipped egg whites, perfect for summer gatherings or special occasions with a sweet, citrusy twist.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve the orange Jell-O in hot water and hot peach juice.
- Add lemon juice and allow the mixture to cool.
- When the mixture begins to thicken, fold in the beaten egg whites.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the Jell-O is completely dissolved before adding the other ingredients. If you want a sweeter taste, feel free to adjust the white sugar to your preference. If you don’t have peach juice, you can use apple juice as a substitute. Consider serving this as a unique dessert alongside a slice of French Style Quiche for a delightful meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Peach Moonshine chilled in small glasses, garnished with a peach slice or mint sprig for an elegant touch. This dessert pairs well with light snacks like Diabetic Carrot-Raisin Salad or can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing treat during warm weather gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm it on the stove over low heat, stirring constantly to maintain the texture. Avoid overheating to prevent the egg whites from cooking too much, which would alter the consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of peach juice?
Yes, you can puree fresh peaches and strain them to create your own juice for a fresher taste. Just make sure to measure out half a cup of the peach puree to replace the juice in the recipe.
What can I do if my mixture doesn't thicken?
If your mixture isn't thickening, try refrigerating it for a while to help it set. If that doesn't work, you may have added the egg whites too soon; ensure the mixture is cool but thickening before folding them in.
Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?
The use of egg whites makes this recipe unsuitable for strict vegetarians. However, you can substitute the egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) for a plant-based alternative that will whip up similarly.
