The best peach desserts

My sweet friends, it is already August. ย This means our summer days with peaches are limited.

Iโ€™m not ready to part with my daily snack of a fresh peach. ย I look forward to the ripe, juicy peach in my lunchbox each day. ย When I get home from work and smell the peaches ripening on the counter, I canโ€™t help myself to another.

Letโ€™s celebrate the last few weeks of summer with a peach dessert every day!

First, letโ€™s drink our peaches. ย With booze. ย (Like you didnโ€™t see that coming!)

Letโ€™s move onto the cooked peach. ย The peach thatโ€™s been dipped in sugar, topped with cream, and covered in frosting is never a bad idea.
