5 Dessert Recipes to Make the Most of Stone Fruits

Following berries, beautiful stone fruits take over as summer unfolds. What a joy it is to bite into peaches, plums, cherries and apricots, which are so juicy and perfectly sweet! To get the most out of these seasonal fruits, we’ve created a few simple and delicious recipes where they truly shine.

1. Plum and Cherry Shortcakes

Shortcake is the ultimate summer dessert. If you’re used to making it with strawberries, check out this version featuring plums and cherries. This recipe uses a classic shortcake dough, which is closer to a scone than a cake. For added indulgence, the filling not only includes whipped cream and fresh fruit, but also a plum and cherry compote.

2. Plum Squares

Planning a picnic? Pick a dessert that’s easy to carry and that can be eaten without the need for cutlery: plum squares. With the addition of two cups of plums, this ensures a satisfying amount of fruit in each bite. It also includes a simple dough consisting of oats, butter and brown sugar, serving both as a soft crust and as a crunchy topping for the fruit.

3. Caramelized Peaches with Maple Whipped Cream and Candied Pecans

Peaches, cream and pecans are three basic ingredients that make for a promising dessert. Caramelized peaches are topped with a caramel whipped cream and maple sugared pecans that bring some added crunch. Assemble the dessert as soon as the fruit is done cooking, so that the cream begins to slightly melt on the warm peaches.

4. Peach and Apricot Trifle

Trifles are a choice dessert to bring to a summer party. The layers of cookies, cream, and peach and apricot compote form a delightful combination of flavours and textures. The cream is light due to the whipped cream that’s delicately incorporated into the pastry cream, and its taste is elevated thanks to the addition of lemon and orange zests. Serve it in a clear glass bowl for a presentation that’s sure to impress.

5. Classic Peach and Nectarine Pie

A slice of pie straight out of the oven and served with a large scoop of ice cream is the ultimate nostalgia from our childhood. The good news? This recipe is absolutely easy to make. Simply prepare the dough in the food processor, then fill the crust with the peach and nectarine mixture before placing another disc of dough on top and you’re good to go. Pro decorating tip: sprinkle the top of the crust with pearl or coarse sugar.
