ALMOND PEACH RUSSE RECIPE

Almond Peach Russe that sound just so wonderful and it sounds like it would be hard to make, but believe me the Almond Peach Russe is very easy to make.You can use different fruit on top of the Almond Peach Russe if you want to. If I use the strawberry jelly I usually put a few strawberries on top with the peaches just to add colour and my grand children really thinks its great.

Almond Peach Russe Ingredients

1 sponge layer made in an 8 inch tin
1 packet strawberry jelly
2 cups boiling water
16 sponge fingers
3 tsp gelatine
1/4 cup water
1/2 pint cream
1/2 oz castor sugar
1 large can peach halves
1/4 pint milk
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp almond essence
extra whipped cream for garnishing

Almond Peach Russe Method

Line the base and sides of a deep sided 8 inch spring form pan with foil. Place the sponge layer in the bottom of the pan. With boiling water make the jelly and allow it to cool to where it is beginning to set. Take half the jelly and spoon over the cake layer and then chill it until its firm. Make sure you keep the remainder of the jelly at room temperature. Take the sponge fingers and cut them in half and stand them up around the edge of the pan with the ends touching the jelly. Take a knife and trim the top of the sponge fingers level to the top of the pan. Now take the gelatine and mix it in a 1/4 cup of water and then dissolve it over hot water.

Whip the cream and add the milk, sugar, lemon juice and almond essence, then a little at a time stir in the gelatine. Let this mixture chill until it is beginning to set and then spoon it over the jelly in the pan and then let it set. Take half the peaches and chop them and then place them on top of the gelatine mixture in pan and then add the remaining jelly on top of that. Allow this to set then add the remainder of the cream mixture and chill. Unmould and peel off the foil just before serving it, Then put the remaining peaches on top and decorate your Almond Peach Russe with sweetened whipped cream.

Enjoy your freshly made Almond Peach Russe!
