Don’t let the summer pass you by without making this amazingly moist old fashioned pound cake with peaches. The peach flavor comes not only from fresh peach chunks throughout, but more peaches are pureed into both the batter and the glaze.

Peaches may be the perfect fruit. So sweet and with a growing season spreading from spring to fall. Their sweetness lasts when frozen or canned so you can enjoy them all year long.

This easy homemade pound cake is a little different than a traditional pound cake in that it doesn’t have sour cream.

Enjoy the warm comfort of Peach Bread Pudding—a scrumptious dessert that combines soft, moist bread cubes with juicy peaches for a magical spin on a classic dessert. It’s baked to perfection and then drizzled with a simple white chocolate sauce for an easy recipe that screams summer.

Decadent Bread Pudding With Fresh Peaches

The soft, pillowy texture of the bread pudding combined with juicy peach chunks and a rich custard turns a classic sweet bread pudding into a must have summer dessert. A layer of brown sugar and butter form the base giving it just enough sweetness. If you want more, drizzle a white chocolate sauce over the top.

I love working with fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the arrival of peach season gives me so many opportunities to try new and exciting recipes. (Peach Ice Cream !!) This is one you are absolutely going to love!

Bread pudding of any type is one of my favorite comfort desserts. We typically think of it as a dessert to make in the winter, but adding fresh peaches lightens it up. While fresh peaches are my favorite, peaches freeze very well and will also work in this dish. So keep it in mind for those winter months too.

One of the keys to making a wonderful bread pudding is to use day-old bread. I use challah bread most of the time, but a rich brioche bread works just as well! Since you’ll be soaking your bread in heavy cream and milk before baking, you want it to be a little tough. That will ensure the bread is soft and does not fall apart in the oven.

This dessert is so amazing on it’s own and I personally don’t think this recipe needs a glaze, thanks to the brown sugar bottom, which provides a touch of sweetness. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make one! It’s fantastic with a white chocolate butter glaze that you can whip up while the pudding is baking. The glaze puts it over the top.
