16 Tasty Desserts with Peaches for Summer Goodness All Year Long

Zesty Peaches and Cream Tart

Make this gorgeous peach tart recipe the centerpiece of your next celebration. Just looking at the rows of juicy, fresh peach slices has our mouths watering, and that's before you even consider the decadent cream mixture below them. This recipe comes together quickly, too—you'll need to spend only 25 minutes on prep, thanks to an easy puff pastry crust.

Peaches and Cream Prosecco Cake

Everything we love about summer is nestled between the luscious layers of this vanilla cake recipe. Each layer is soaked in bubbly Prosecco, then topped with a juicy fresh peach filling. Spread on plenty of whipped cream frosting, then top it all with a few extra peach slices to give guests a hint of what's in store.

Peach Crumble Bars

Part peach crisp and part dessert bar, you'll want to take this dessert to your next summer potluck or picnic. The three distinct layers are so good, you'll have to dole out seconds. They start with a simple, crumbly crust, followed by a filling made with six ripe peaches. Finally, a crisp-style topping finishes in crumbles of brown sugar, hazelnuts, and shredded coconut.

Peach Macarons

From a few steps away, it's easy to mistake these peach macarons for the real fruits. Creating the cutest macarons we've ever seen just takes some food coloring (so that each cookie resembles a peach) and mint leaves. To add flavor to this macarons recipe, use peach jam or fluffy peach buttercream for the filling.

Peach Crisp

This classic peach crisp recipe will be a hit no matter whom you're serving. Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the peaches gives the filling some spice, while mixing crushed graham crackers into the topping gives it a taste almost like peach pie. When you combine the two, the result is a crisp so delicious, everyone will be scraping their plates.

Peach Cobbler with Thyme Biscuits

Give a classic peach cobbler recipe a boost by tossing in some fresh thyme from your herb garden. Just a few pinches in the flaky homemade biscuits will remind you of fluffy rolls from your grandma's kitchen. Then, once it's baked, sprinkle a few more sprigs on top so you can taste the juicy fresh peaches and thyme in every bite.

Fresh Peach Ice Cream

A lot of peach desserts are made even better by adding a scoop of homemade ice cream on top, and if you want a double-dose of fresh peaches, make sure you've got this ice cream ready in your freezer. While it can add creaminess to a steaming bowl of peach cobbler, it's also utterly indulgent on its own. You can even use it to make a peach sundae by drizzling a decadent sauce on each scoop.

Skillet Dulce de Leche Peach Pie

You don't necessarily need a pie pan to make a pie—this recipe cooks right in your cast-iron skillet. Start by grilling fresh peach halves to give the filling a subtle smoky flavor. Then, once you've assembled the flaky crust and spooned plenty of gooey dulce de leche over the filling, cook your pie on the grill for the ultimate summer cookout dessert.

Cheesecake-Stuffed Peaches

If you enjoy pure peaches for dessert, you'll love this slightly dressed up easy peach recipe. Rather than taking the time to bake a whole homemade cheesecake, you can just stuff each peach half with a dollop of cheesecake cream. Then a quick roast in the oven results in tender, caramelized peaches with warm, decadent cheesecake on top.

Peach-Berry Hot Honey Crisp

A peach crisp recipe is wonderful, but if you want your dessert to taste like full summer, adding berries is a must. This recipe combines fresh, juicy peach slices with raspberries and blueberries for a trio of summer fruits. In addition, this crisp recipe includes a hot drizzle of honey in the filling, which makes it gooier and more decadent than most.

Easy Peach Dump Cake

You can toss this canned peaches dessert together so quickly, you'll have time to put up your feet. This unbelievably easy cake recipe needs only three ingredients: A large can of peaches, a box of cake mix, and butter. No need to mix it all together, either—just dump the ingredients in a pan and bake.

Upside-Down Almond-Plum Cake

We used plums to make this cake, but you can turn it into a recipe for fresh peach desserts. For the most stunning effect, instead of cutting regular slices, slice your peaches (or plums) into thin halves. The result is a gorgeous cake that's almost completely covered with fresh fruit slices and crunchy almonds.

Peach-Mango Pie

A classic peach pie recipe gets a tropical twist by adding fresh mangoes. Other than the extra juicy burst of fruity filling, this pie is exactly what you'd expect—flaky crust and gooey, cinnamon-spiced filling. If you want to change your pie a little, this summery recipe is a delicious way to try something new.

Peach Crisp with Cornbread Topper

Grab your cast-iron skillet, because it makes for the easiest, tastiest peach crisp around. You can start cooking the fresh peaches on the stovetop, then, once you've added the topping, pop the skillet in the oven. From the fluffy cornbread topping to the dash of bourbon mixed into the filling, this crisp recipe has homey Southern flavors through and through.

Peach Pie Shake

We love our peach pie with a scoop of ice cream, so why not blend the two together? This decadent peach dessert mixes a slice of peach pie with a scoop of ice cream, a dash of milk, and a few extra peach slices for good measure. Skip the straw, you're going to need a spoon for this thick, indulgent dessert.

Apricot Skillet Pie

We know this recipe is for an apricot pie, but stone fruits are similar enough that you can easily use fresh peaches. They'll be just as tasty mixed with fresh, juicy cherries and enveloped in an easy puff pastry crust. No matter which filling you choose, bake and serve the pie in your cast-iron skillet and top it with a few scoops of vanilla ice cream or a generous swirl of whipped cream.
