Deep Fried Peaches and Ice Cream [+ Video]

Deep fried peaches are rolled in cinnamon sugar then served up with cold, creamy ice cream! This family-friendly treat is warm, crispy, and tastes like peach pie took a spin through the county fair – only faster and easier!

Making a Comeback!

This recipe for deep fried peaches might just be the best summer idea I’ve ever had. Nearly 20 years ago, it was one of the first recipes on our site to go totally viral – websites everywhere were buzzing about this sweet, cinnamon-kissed peach dessert. I felt like I had cracked the code on peach perfection.

Then I had more kids. Got more distracted. And I forgot.

How do you forget a dessert that good? Easy – life gets full. Kids may sleep through the night, but suddenly it’s sports, homework, and snack duty on repeat. But as I looked back through our 2000+ recipes, this one jumped out at me. It was time to bring it back.

I love mine with vanilla ice cream, maybe a spoonful of whipped cream, but the kids go all out with caramel sauce, raspberry drizzle – or both, because of course they do. The whole thing reminds me of my mom’s Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler and our Peach Crisp – those warm, spiced desserts that made every camping trip feel like a feast, even if we were eating cross-legged in the dirt.

Fresh, juicy peaches are tossed with cinnamon sugar and then baked inside a buttery, flaky crust to make this easy Peach Galette. You only need six ingredients to make it and it never fails to impress.

What is a galette?

The first galette I ever made was peach and I loved it from the first bite. A galette is lighter than a pie, not at all heavy with fruit or overly sweet with sugar. I love this method of baking fruit.

The beauty of a galette is that it doesn’t need to be perfect at all. It’s a simple crust topped with fresh fruit. Fold the sides in to contain the fruit and its juices as it bakes.

Galettes are one of those desserts that we call “rustic” and we get away with making them as messy as we like. No-pressure desserts are my favorite!

Peach Galette

To make this peach galette, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• fresh peaches
• flour
• salt
• butter
• sugar
• cinnamon
• water

Before You Begin…

You want to start by making the pie crust, blind baking it and letting it cool completely. If you don’t want to make your own crust, you can grab a store bought crust and bake it according to the instructions on the package.

Ingredients for Peaches and Cream Pie

• Pie Crust: You will need flour, unsalted butter, salt, sugar and ice water to make the pie crust.
• Cream Cheese: I highly recommend using full fat cream cheese. The texture just turns out better.
• Powdered Sugar: Sweetens up the cream layer and balances out the tang of the cream cheese.
• Heavy Cream: Whipping up the cream gives body, fluffiness and creaminess to the cream layer.
• Vanilla: Adds flavor
• Yellow Peaches: You want freestone peaches, like Early Elberta, that are ripe. Remove the pits and slice them. Peeling is optional.
• Sugar: Helps balance the tartness of the peaches. If your peaches seems super sweet, then you can reduce the sugar a little.
• Ultra Gel: Helps thicken the saucy peach layer.
• Water: Helps create a thick syrupy peach layer for the top of the pie.
