Whether you’ve got juicy ripe peaches from the farmer’s market or a can waiting in your pantry, these peach dessert recipes are here to wow your taste buds.

This list includes easy, delicious, and time-saving ideas, from classic cobblers to frosty ice cream and creamy cheesecake. Ready to peach it up?

Let’s dive in! 👇

1. Easy Peach Cobbler

If summer had a signature dessert, it would be this: a golden, bubbling peach cobbler. The best part? You don’t need fancy skills, just juicy peaches and a basic batter.

The cobbler starts with a buttery baking dish with sliced peaches (fresh or canned work great). Sprinkle sugar and a touch of cinnamon. Then, pour a quick batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk. A little melted butter over the top? Yes, please.

As it bakes, the peaches bubble up, and the crust forms a crispy golden layer. This dessert tastes like childhood, family picnics, and cozy kitchen moments.

Serve warm, straight from the oven, and don’t forget that scoop of vanilla ice cream. It melts into the peaches like magic.

Tip: Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. This helps the juices thicken and makes serving easier.

2. Peach Crisp

Peach crisp is like a cobbler’s crunchy cousin. What sets it apart is that glorious oat-packed topping that bakes to golden-brown perfection. It’s everything you love about summer in one warm bowl.

Here’s why you’ll love this recipe:

• Sweet, syrupy peach base
• Buttery oat and brown sugar topping
• Quick to make with pantry staples

Ingredients you’ll need:

Layer the peaches in a baking dish, top with the crisp mixture, and bake until golden and bubbly. It smells like heaven and tastes even better.

Pro tip: Add chopped pecans to the topping for extra crunch.

3. Peach Upside Down Cake

This dessert flips the script—literally. A soft vanilla cake bakes over juicy, caramelized peaches, and once flipped, you’re left with a glossy, show-stopping top that wows every time.

Make a simple caramel base using butter and brown sugar in a round cake pan. Arrange peach slices neatly in the sugary mix. Then, pour over your cake batter; it should be light, fluffy, and made with sour cream or yogurt for extra moisture.

As it bakes, the peaches soak into the cake while the sugar transforms into a sticky glaze. Once out of the oven, let it rest, then flip carefully onto a serving plate.

The result? A moist cake crowned with glistening peach slices and a caramel topping that drips down the sides.

Perfect for brunches, celebrations, or whenever you want to impress guests with minimal effort.

4. Peach Dump Cake

Peach dump cake is the hero when you want dessert with zero effort. There’s no mixing bowl required; layer, bake, and eat. It’s a total lifesaver for last-minute guests or lazy summer nights.

Here’s the basic rundown:

• Layer canned peaches in a 9×13 dish (with syrup!)
• Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix evenly on top
• Dot with butter slices all over
• Optional: a light cinnamon sprinkle

Pop it in the oven at 350°F and bake for 45–50 minutes until golden and bubbly. The edges get crispy, but the middle stays soft, making it irresistible.

Best served with: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Want to jazz it up? Add crushed nuts or swap cake mix flavors: lemon, spice, or chocolate!

5. Peach Pudding

Peach pudding is the soft, spoonable, creamy dessert that feels like a warm hug. It’s less common than cobblers or crisps, but it deserves a spot in your summer rotation.

Start with chopped peaches, fresh or canned, and cook them down lightly with sugar and a splash of vanilla until syrupy. Then mix them into a custard base made from milk, eggs, and a touch of flour for thickness.

Pour into a buttered baking dish, and bake low and slow until set but still jiggly in the center. The top should be lightly golden, and the inside silky smooth.

Why it works:

• Great for using up overripe peaches
• Comfort food to the max
• Delicious hot or cold

You can dress it up with whipped cream or toasted coconut, or enjoy it as is—it’s peach perfection.

6. Brown Butter Peach Crumb Cake

Take your dessert game up a notch with this brown butter crumb cake packed with peaches. It’s a bakery-style treat you can make at home.

Start by browning unsalted butter until golden and nutty. This adds deep, rich flavor to the batter and the crumb topping.

What you need:

Layer the batter, then peaches, and finish with a thick sprinkle of crumbs. Bake until the top is crisp and golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Serving Tip: Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with a latte. Perfect for brunch, dessert, or snacking straight from the pan.

7. Peach Coffee Cake

Peach coffee cake is a sweet slice of summer with a tender crumb and fruit-packed flavor. It’s the cake you’ll crave alongside your morning brew or a chilled glass of lemonade in the afternoon.

This cake starts with a rich, buttery batter layered with chopped peaches. On top, there’s a cinnamon-sugar swirl that melts into the cake as it bakes, creating a sticky-sweet ribbon of flavor.

Highlights:

• Moist and fluffy base
• Peach chunks in every bite
• Lightly spiced crumble topping

Sour cream or Greek yogurt can moisten the batter. Bake it in a square pan for easy serving, or use a bundt pan if you feel fancy.

Once cooled, drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze for that picture-perfect finish.

To make it your own, add chopped walnuts and a splash of almond extract, or switch up the spices with cardamom or ginger.

8. Peach Cobbler Muffins
