Lately, I've been brainstorming fruit desserts for y'all because the fruit is so great right now. I don't think I've had better blueberries before this year. Every peach has been a delight, dripping down my chin. The strawberries are fizzling out, but they were wonderful while they lasted. And while I might dream up a blueberry-peach dessert recipe for you, something always stops me.
Fruit this perfect should be enjoyed as-is.
Slice and serve.
That's how I've been serving dessert at our house lately. We've had lots of house guests in the last few weeks, and dessert has been the easiest course to plan---stop by the farm stand, grab whatever looks ripe, and serve with cream of sort sort: frozen, whipped, or chilled.
This rendition of peaches and cream is so simple, but something to add to your arsenal of easy, quick and impressive desserts.
The peach slices are brûléed with a blow torch, but they could just as easily be grilled. Or roasted. Or sauteed. Just get some heat on the peaches to melt the sugar and bring the juices forward in the fruit.
The sauce is the same as for my Strawberry Pretzel Parfaits; just brown sugar and full-fat yogurt. It's so easy that your husband could mix it together while you torch the peaches.

Loving this simple "torched" peach dessert recipe, Christina! I just adore peaches with full fat Greek yogurt. So refreshing and soothing for the soul. Thanks for sharing!

Totally agree, sometimes simple is best and often summer fruit doesn't make it as far as a recipe in our house!

I can't begin to tell you how jealous I am of the peaches you folks get in the south! We have a pretty decent farmer's market here but still nothing compares to the ripe drippy peaches from the farm stands out in TX all the way to the Carolinas. I neeeeed them! Love your idea of torching them and dipping them in yogurt for a simple, healthful treat!

My philosophy with summer fruit: Don't mess with a beautiful thing. I love that this dessert shows off the peaches just by letting them be their gorgeous, juicy selves.Plus, this gives me another reason to "treat" myself to a blowtorch. Watch out Ben.

Mmm. I love this simple take on peaches and cream. Don't mess with what's already good and you have a golden recipe! Those peaches look PERFECT! I want this for breakfast!

Between this and creme brulee, I now NEED a blow torch for my kitchen!! This looks like the perfect summer dessert - fruity, simple, and delicious! Now, I must know where you got that beautiful chevron tablecloth/napkin/textile - I love it! :)
Eileen says
A beautiful dessert! I'm thinking if I made this I might soak the peaches in a sweet white wine before grilling them. :) Yum!
