Peach Delight – ok ok ok, I’ll be the first to admit that it’s the LAMEST name EVER, but I was seriously struggling! Here’s the full story:
My dear sweet Grandma made this dessert a few years ago, and I inhaled it. Surprising, since I don’t actually love peaches. It was literally addicting and I couldn’t get it in my mouth fast enough. Moral of this story? My Grandma called it “Peach Dessert.” There, now my name (Peach Delight) doesn’t seem so bad….

This is an old family favorite at our house! Sadly it is simply “Peach Dessert” to us as well, but the lack of a creative name doesn’t stop us from devouring it every year with our home grown peaches. I’m such a snob I can’t do it with store bought peaches! OH, I wish I had some right now!
This looks fantastic and I have all the ingredients already! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks!
Oh yay! I can’t wait for you to try it! Let me know how it turns out for you!!
