It’s that time of year when the peaches are finally here. There are few fruits in life that are better than a nice juicy peach.

Why Easy Peach Desserts Are a Summer Must-Have
When the weather’s warm, the last thing you want is a dessert that keeps you in the kitchen for hours. That’s why I love peach dessert recipes that use fresh, seasonal fruit and can be whipped up in minutes. And it’s better to use the grill than to heat up the kitchen when it’s 90 degrees outside!
Peaches naturally pair well with creamy textures like yogurt, whipped cream, and ice cream. They also shine when lightly grilled, roasted, or layered in parfaits — making them perfect for everything from casual cookouts to elegant dinner parties.

Featured Recipe: Grilled Peaches with Honey & Yogurt Parfait
This recipe combines two summer favorites — grilled peaches and creamy yogurt — into a light, satisfying dessert. It’s also one of my go-to yogurt parfait ideas for entertaining because it looks fancy but takes less than 10 minutes to make.
The ingredients that we’ll be using are: of course peaches! The main attraction of this dessert is seasonal fruit. Next you’ll need either some olive oil or melted butter – this will be brushed on the peaches during grilling. Greek yogurt is next on the list. I only use plain Greek yogurt because all of the flavored yogurts tend to have added sugar in them. We’ll be adding in honey to sweet it up so there’s no need for extra added sugar in the yogurt. Top the parfait with either pistachios, pecans, or almonds. Lastly, grab some mint – this really isn’t needed and can be simply used as a garnish. If you’re having a party or a nice dinner, this would be a nice touch to add to the finished parfait.
Don’t worry I’m going to go over exactly what to do in the below instructions!
Grilled Peaches with Honey & Yogurt Parfait
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1–2 tsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions
- Prep the Peaches
Slice peaches in half, remove pits, and brush the cut sides with olive oil or melted butter. - Grill the Peaches
