Make the most of peach season with five delicious, utterly irresistible desserts - from a feather‑light peaches and cream sponge to a crisp, golden peach crumble. There's a beautifully patterned peach pie, an impressively easy 10‑minute peach tarte Tatin and the timeless Peach Melba of poached peaches with raspberry sauce. Which will you make first?
1 - Peaches & Cream Sponge Cake
I absolutely adore this peaches and cream sponge cake! It is feather light and made with an easy steamed sponge. It can even be cooked in a cast iron pot with no oven needed. This is a must-try recipe.
2 - Peach Crisp
As summer segues towards Autumn enjoy the best of peach season with this irresistible peach crisp! Juicy peaches (fresh or tinned) are topped with a buttery oatmeal crisp, featuring my special tip for extra crunch. Simple yet so satisfying!
3 - Peach, Rosemary & Vanilla Tarte Tatin
Celebrate stone fruit season with this easy peach tarte Tatin that requires 10 minutes! I'm serious, with just 10 minute active prep time, peach tarte tatin is even easier than apple tarte tatin! If you've never made tarte tatin before, start on this one!
4 - Peach Pie
Love fragrant white peaches? They're abundant and affordable now which makes them perfect for baking. For a stunning treat, try this peach and vanilla pie with a beautifully patterned crust!
5 - Peach Melba
Peach Melba is a simple yet elegant dessert created by Auguste Escoffier to honour Dame Nellie Melba and is perfect to make ahead of time. We use gorgeous white peaches poached in a fragrant spiced syrup with star anise, cinnamon, clove, and vanilla. The peaches are chilled and served over thick cream or vanilla ice cream with a raspberry sauce.
