9 Amazing Summer Fruit Desserts

July 10, 2020

One of the best things about summer is the fruit! Of course it’s delicious on its own, but how can you resist these 9 amazing summer fruit desserts?

Summer fruit desserts are one of my favorite things! Summer produce is one of the best parts of summer, in my opinion. And while there is really nothing better than a perfectly ripe fresh peach that doesn’t need a single grain of sugar added to it, summer fruits are amazing to bake with. Pies, cakes, tarts, cobblers…there’s really no limit to the desserts that you can make with your farmer’s market haul. Here are 9 of my favorites!

Strawberries

The first sign of summer is fresh strawberries. They don’t stick around for long, but a beautiful fresh strawberry is like nothing that you’ll find in the grocery store in the middle of winter. I’ve got quite a few strawberry desserts to share with you!

Strawberry Pie
This is a slight adaptation of my grandmother’s recipe. She was an amazing cook, but of all the things that she made, this was one of the things that got me most excited. No red Jell-o in sight!

Strawberry Cream Pie With Pretzel Crust
If you mash together my strawberry pie recipe and that strawberry pretzel salad that you will find at every southern potluck, you’ll get this pie. With a salty pretzel crust, a tangy cream cheese layer, and luscious strawberries, this pie has it all!

Strawberry Fluff
I’m not going to try to sell fluff to you as a “salad”, but as a dessert, this fluff is easy and just so good! Whipped cream, cream cheese, strawberries, and marshmallows…I mean, how can you go wrong?

Blueberries

As I type this, I just picked a pint jar full of blueberries from the bushes in my front yard, and that makes me so happy. I probably won’t get enough to make any of these delicious desserts, but supermarket blueberries (even frozen!) are amazing here!

Blueberry Dump Cake From Scratch
I’m guessing that we can all agree that “dump cake” really needs a new name…but I already made over the recipe. Usually made with cake mix, this dump cake is made from scratch with pantry ingredients and it is perfect with a scoop of ice cream on top!

Blueberry Creme Brûlée
Creme brûlée is my husband’s favorite dessert. It seems intimidating, but really, it’s so easy! I love to put a blueberry compote in the bottom of the ramekin before I bake the brûlées. So delish!

Blueberry creme brûlée is a simple but fancy dessert that is a perfect use for fresh summer blueberries (but is just as good with frozen)! | Recipe from Chattavore.com
Blueberry Pineapple Pie
After watching a documentary about pies and learning about a pie called the “Blue Hawaiian” I had to figure out how to make it myself. This pie pairs blueberry and pineapple with a streusel topping. Unexpected and amazing!

Think of all things summery and you have blueberry pineapple pie - complete with a buttery coconut crumb topping, it's summer at its best! | recipe from Chattavore.com
The Best Blueberry Pie
The name says it all. This pie is loaded with blueberries with a beautiful golden crust. Serve it with ice cream or whipped cream. Either way, it lives up to its name!

Peaches

I think peaches may be my favorite fruit, so its odd that I really don’t have that many peach recipes on my blog. But the two that I have are pretty great, if I do say so myself.

Peach Breakfast Crisp
A summery dessert that doubles as breakfast? Yes, please! This peach crisp is perfect for dessert with ice cream or with yogurt for breakfast.

Peach Fried Pies With Raspberry Sauce
A callback to peach melba, these fried pies are full of peachy flavor with perfectly golden crust and a delicious raspberry dipping sauce.
