Sweet, season and distinct—peaches make me think of summer. These 10 peach desserts are sure to please. And while I don’t always do savory, check out my bonus peach caprese salad at the bottom of the post!
Peaches are such a beautiful, unique fruit. You never mistake peach flavor for something else, as there is just something about the juicy sweetness that is so obviously a peach. It’s fitting that peach season coincides with summer, because the fruit is bright, floral and fun, and to celebrate these tasty treats I put together a list of my favorite peach desserts. Each recipe showcases the peach flavor in its own way, and you’ll find pies, ice cream and so much more.

There is nothing more beautiful than a perfectly ripe, juicy, smooth, sweet peach, so don't fuss it all up with too much extra stuff. This perfect peach pie with lattice crust is really just peaches, a touch of booze (which is optional) and some raw sugar.

This delightful apple Dutch baby (also known as a German pancake) is a perfect way to start a weekend morning. It is incredibly easy and requires just a few simple ingredients. Top it off with caramelized apples and you have decadent breakfast or brunch item in no time.

This peach upside down cake is perfect for peaches that have ripened to juicy and sweet perfection. If you like ginger, it makes a great pairing with the peaches. I like the ginger spiked upside-down cake, but my husband prefers the peaches to shine "au naturel."

"Morning, sunshine!" That's what this Peach Rye Cake says to me and what a joyous way to start the day. Sure, it's cake and can be served with ice cream as a dessert too, but the rye and honey evoke more of a morning muffin vibe, so I am suggesting this with a dollop of yogurt to start your day.

This is my modern take on peach melba, fresh peaches with ice cream and croquant. Traditionally a Peach Melba is nothing more than peach, vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. I stuck to peaches throughout, so the ice cream and whipped cream have peach puree added to them.

Peaches and white chocolate are a perfect pairing for scones. Caramelizing the white chocolate turns it from ordinary to truly special.

This lovely tart is quintessentially Italian. I had some perfectly ripe peaches sitting on the counter, so I decided to top the tart with them. It is super tasty and an ode to summer, but it would be just as good without the peaches, served with a strong cup of coffee.

Toasted almond dacquoise is light, chewy and crunchy all at the same time. Combined with chocolate ganache, freshly whipped cream, the summer's juiciest peaches and candied almonds, this dessert is perfection.

How can something so tasty be SO easy? Peaches and a bit of honey sweeten tangy yogurt. Pour it in beautiful glasses and you can serve it as dessert after an Indian feast or a light picnic on the patio.

I made the Peach Melba Ice Cream with in-season Chambersburg peaches. It was, hands down, the best ice cream I’ve ever had!! Thank you for sharing the recipe, Zoe!
Yay! We are thrilled to hear it!
Would love to know what brand honey powder you use. : )
Hi Rhonda, The Honey Powder Zoë uses is from SOS Chefs. Here is a link to the product. Happy baking!
I am catching up on Season 3, I love your new oven. I think you called it a french door oven? What is the brand, and at the bottom of your oven it looks like a baking stone, is that correct?
Hi Pam! Zoë has a Blue Star French Door Double Electric Wall Oven. That is a baking stone and it’s built right into the oven!
