Cobbler is a classic for a reason, but this peach season, why not mix things up a little? From creamy popsicles to a bakery-worthy tart, we’re sharing seven dessert recipes to make the most of summer’s sweetest fruit. Whether you’re hosting a backyard cookout or just craving something new, there’s something here for everyone.
Peach Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting
Who says easy can’t be impressive? This peach cake from Dessert Now Dinner Later starts with a box mix and gets a serious upgrade from a dreamy brown sugar frosting made with butter, cream, and vanilla. Use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches — whatever you have on hand. Refrigerate for up to 5 days, but good luck making it last that long.
Peach Crostata
Don’t let this gorgeous peach tart from Fifteen Spatulas fool you — it’s so much easier than it looks. Toss peaches in brown sugar, spiced rum, cinnamon, and vanilla, pile onto a crust, fold up the edges, and bake. If you want to keep things simple, use store-bought puff pastry. Forty minutes at 400°F and you’ve got a showstopper. Vanilla ice cream on top is non-negotiable.
Peach Crumb Bars
These easy peach crumb bars from Saving Room for Dessert are everything! Imagine one warm from the oven with your morning coffee, or served at your summer cookout or potluck. Bake for 45–55 minutes, then finish with a drizzle of almond icing or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Pro tip: choose peaches that are firm and fragrant — no shriveled skin!
Peach & Honey Popsicles
Popsicles and Texas summers go hand in hand. Roasted peaches, honey, and full-fat yogurt come together in these easy, creamy pops from Cookie + Kate that taste like summer in every bite. Customize with extra honey or vanilla to suit your taste, freeze for at least four hours, and run warm water over the molds for a quick release.
Peaches & Cream Dessert
This one’s for the busy hosts. Ready in less than 30 minutes (and can easily be made the night before), these peaches and cream puffs from Sizzling Eats are a total crowd-pleaser with minimal effort. Fill each puff generously with about three peaches and a dollop of whipped cream, then dust lightly with powdered sugar right before serving. Simple, stunning, and stress-free.
Peaches & Sour Cream Ice Cream
Four ingredients stand between you and this creamy summer dessert from Food52. Purée ripe peaches with lemon juice, pulse in sugar and sour cream, and freeze. Break the frozen mixture into chunks, then blend until completely smooth. Serve straight away for soft serve or return to the freezer to scoop later.
Salted Caramel Peach Hand Pies
Flaky, portable, and topped with a decadent salted caramel sauce… what more could you want? These hand pies from Blue Bowl Recipes are filled with a sweet cinnamon-spiced peach filling and baked to a deep golden brown. Drizzle with salted caramel straight from the oven and dig in. Use canned pie filling to speed things up if you’d like!
