Peach Tart with Sugar Cookie Crust

Peach tart with a cookie dough crust is so easy to make! This fresh peach tart will be a recipe to whip up for potlucks, summer cookouts, birthday parties and more. We make this peach tart recipe all year round! It is best with perfectly ripe peaches, but for a peach lover, we can’t box it into just summer months.

When the peach season hits, we have an obsession. That sweet fleshy fruit is not only stunning to look at, but the sweetness is off the charts.

Peach Tart

We used a pre-made sugar cookie crust, this made prep incredibly easy. We love making homemade desserts, but on occasion, we love having quick and easy desserts like this in our back pocket. A few minutes of prep, and a bit of cook time and you have a refreshing dessert to serve up.

Can we Use Homemade Sugar Cookie Dough For our Peach Tart

Absolutely! If you have a homemade sugar cookie dough recipe you love, go for it. We are a fan of homemade sugar cookies, but sometimes we just don’t have the time to prep. So buy sugar cookie dough, or make your own.

Do You Cook Peaches For This Cookie Tart

No. This is a fresh peach cookie tart, that you will just wash and slice your peaches. Then lay it out on top of the cookie tart. If you wanted to make a cooked peach compote you could always do that, and spread it on top. We love the fresh fruit, it adds a nice light texture and flavor to the tart.

What Is The Cream Filling For This Tart Recipe

We wanted to create an easy summer tart recipe, so we created a simple cream filling. It is a cream cheese base that has powdered sugar, and almond extrac t. We love the almond flavoring next to the fresh peaches. It pairs beautifully together.

Can we Use Vanilla Extract In Replace of Almond Extract for Tart Filling

Yes! If you are not a fan of almond extract, reach for vanilla. It will work just as good. We personally love the almond but if you are not sure vanilla extract will taste great.

What If we Don’t Own A Tart Pan

A pie pan is a great substitute for a tart pan. We get, if you don’t make tarts a lot, a tart pan might not be in your cupboards. Reach for a pie plan and improvise!
