Peachy keen: 25 delicious peach dessert recipes
When peaches are in season, there’s no better way to enjoy their juicy sweetness than with a homemade peach dessert. Here’s 25 peach dessert recipes to choose from.
I was not the biggest fan of peaches in my youth.
Back then, my grandmother ran a fruit and vegetable growing and exporting business, so fruit was always in abundance. Peaches and nectarines were in season at the same time, and then, they were larger than an adult’s clenched fist (I’ve seen nectarines now the size of small plums!).
The skin of the peaches had a furriness that weirded me out, and thus I preferred to have a nectarine or six instead.
That all changed about eight years ago when my husband and I had a lifestyle block. We planted both a peach and nectarine trees (amongst others).
Without fail, they’d get leaf curl every year, but the peach thrived regardless, and after a couple of years was probably 10 times the size of its nectarine companion.
For several summers, we would come home from work and grab a peach off the tree, biting into its golden juicy, sun-warmed flesh, and generally feel like all was well with the world.
From that time on, I have loved peaches, whether on their own, or when featuring in a dessert.
Their natural sweetness pairs beautifully with a variety of flavors, making them the perfect star ingredient in pies, cakes, cobblers and more.
Here you’ll find 25 of the best peach dessert recipes that will have you savoring the sweetness of summer in every bite.
