15 Juicy Peach Desserts That Taste Like Peak Summer
These fruity treats will have you feeling peachy keen!
At the height of summer, nothing beats the taste of a perfectly ripe peach. Since this stone fruit’s peak season takes place during the hottest months of the year, it’s a great time of year to try peach recipes. Grabbing a peach for a midday pick-me-up is always satisfying, but these peach desserts are all dreamy, decadent, and downright delicious.
Baking fresh peaches in summer pies, cobblers, and scones is one of the best ways to make the most of this in-season fruit—topped with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream, of course! But to give these traditional treats a fun, unexpected twist, consider whipping up a no-bake peach pie or a batch of gooey cinnamon rolls. You can let them shine in elegant dessert tarts that’ll demand attention at a dinner party or cookout, or you can transform them into cute, peach-shaped cookies that you and the kids will want to munch on all season long.
And if your peaches aren’t quite ripe yet, no problem—many summer treats, such as Ree Drummond’s peach crisp with maple cream sauce, actually shine with firmer peaches. So, whether you're a peach fanatic or you're just looking for something new to make for a picnic or party, look no further than these easy peach desserts. They'll be the highlight of your summer!
