Fresh Summer Peaches With Cannoli Cream

Here’s an easy, low effort dessert that will keep you cool and satisfy your sweet tooth this summer, with no oven required.

Fresh summer peaches with cannoli cream. Perfectly ripe and juicy peaches are the base for generous dollops of cannoli cream on top.

You can slice the peaches, dice the peaches and even grill them up if you wish, and if you prefer, you can also do the same with nectarines or even apricots.

The cannoli cream can be made ahead, placed in your fridge until you’re ready to serve up your peaches. It’s a great summertime dessert to have after a dinner party or when friends and family visit.

You can layer the peaches and cream in a pretty glass for an individual presentation, or just serve it family style with a generous amount of the cannoli cream plopped on top of the sliced peaches, either way you’re sure to impress your guests!

Happy summer!
