I was inspired to create a bourbon-infused whipped cream that elevates this dessert to a whole other level. Peaches and bourbon together are perfection!

Nothing Better Than a Sweet Peach in the Summer

Summer in the south… heat, humidity, thunderstorms, lightning bugs, porch swings, and peaches. It’s a beautiful time of year.

I have had the best peaches of my life in the last five years since we moved to North Carolina. I’m not sure what their secret is, but the south can grow the sweetest, juiciest, and most delicious peaches. I am smitten!

Every summer, I anxiously await the arrival of peaches at the market. I make weekly (okay, if I’m being honest it’s more like bi-weekly) trips to the farmer’s market to get baskets of fresh peaches. Lately, I’ve been cooking up a storm with them.

Treat Yourself with a Little Peach Cobbler

To date, this Peach Cobbler with Bourbon Cream is my favorite summer dessert. Although I created it as a dessert, no judgment will be passed should you decide to eat it for breakfast… It may or may not happen here all at the farmhouse. (Don’t worry your secret is safe with me!)

My Peach Cobbler with Bourbon Cream is truly a sweet taste of the south and it is the perfect ending to a summer barbecue supper. Enjoy!

In the south, nothing says summer like fresh, sweet, juicy, peaches. Since moving to North Carolina, I've had some of the best peaches of my life. If only peach season lasted longer! Since it's fleeting, when it's here, I make the best of it. I love to grill peaches, make peach jams and glazes, but most of all, I love peach cobbler. Peaches and bourbon are a match made in heaven. My peach cobbler recipe celebrates their perfect union. Warm peach cobbler with cool, creamy bourbon cream and sprig of fresh mint is the perfect way to cap off a wonderful summer supper.
