- For a fun twist, you can add a splash of peach schnapps or other fruit liqueur to the mousse for an adult version.
Variation
You can use other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries in place of peaches. For a chocolate version, consider adding chocolate cake and chocolate mousse along with the fruit.
