Instructions

To prepare these delightful Chilled Peach Cups with Dolcetto, begin by washing and drying the peaches thoroughly. Once cleaned, peel the peaches and set the skins aside for later use. After peeling, cut the peaches into small pieces and set them aside.

Next, soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 10 minutes to allow them to soften.

While the gelatin is soaking, take a saucepan with tall sides and pour in the Dolcetto wine along with the sugar. Warm this mixture over low heat, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until the sugar has completely dissolved. You may need to help the sugar dissolve by stirring continuously.

Once the sugar is fully dissolved, zest the lemon and add the zest to the saucepan. Stir it in for a few seconds, allowing the lemon flavor to infuse into the wine mixture. Then, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool at room temperature.

Meanwhile, take four glasses or cups that each hold about 150 ml (or 5 oz). Place 80g of the prepared peach pieces into the bottom of each glass.

Next, pour the cooled Dolcetto wine mixture into each cup, covering the peaches. Place the cups in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours or until the gelatin has set and the mixture is chilled.

Before serving, garnish each cup with a few fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and flavor. These Chilled Peach Cups with Dolcetto are the perfect light, fruity dessert to enjoy on a warm evening or at the end of a lovely meal.

Enjoy your refreshing and sophisticated dessert!
