Hello lovelies! Happy mid—*does a double-take* Can it really be MID-AUGUST?! What sort of time warp am I living in? Can you believe it’s back to school season already? I still have a few weeks before the wee one goes back to school, and believe you me, I’m at the point in the summer where I’m counting down the days….no, the hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I’m ready for some school relief, I’m NOT ready to say goodbye to all of my favorite summer produce. I’ve been living in up with pounds and pounds of fresh cherries, berries, plums, and of course, fresh peaches. I think every state claims to have peaches that rival Georgia’s, and Utah is no exception. (Poor Georgia. Always the target of peach jealousy.) I’m not ready to award a final winner in the battle of the peaches, but I will say that Utah peaches have been exceptional this summer—so juicy and flavorful, with a sweetness tinged with the perfect amount of tartness. It’s peach paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago we were invited to a friend’s house for a weekend barbecue. They provided a huge feast of grilled food and sides, and literally the only thing I was assigned to bring was dessert. I always feel a little pressure when people ask me to bring dessert, because I think they’re going to expect something spectacular and over-the-top every time. (Which is totally untrue, I’m sure, it’s just my stupid brain trying to freak me out.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I overcompensate and try to make an inappropriately dazzling dessert for a casual get-together, but this time I had the recipe and the vibe nailed down<\/em> from minute one. I had just bought a big bag of peaches at the perfect stage of ripeness, and I wanted to make a dessert that would showcase their texture and flavor without many adornments. No baking, no strong spices or overpowering flavors, just pure peaches and cream all the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trifle couldn’t be simpler: cubes of pound cake, billowing whipped cream, and slices of juicy fresh peaches. I used homemade pound cake (left over from my Dessert Grilled Cheese<\/a> experiments, natch) but you could easily use store-bought pound cake to make this a quick 10-minute dessert. There’s nothing more delicious or refreshing after a summer barbecue alfresco, and you can easily play with it by adding fresh berries, other stone fruit, jam, or lemon curd. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
