Peach season is in full swing, and this Peach Crème Fraiche Streusel Tart is the perfect way to celebrate! This rustic dessert combines a classic French shortcrust (Pâte Sablée) with ripe peaches dotted with crème fraiche and then topped with a crumbly streusel. It is the perfect combination of sweet juicy flavors from baked peaches, slight tartness from the crème fraiche and a satisfying crispness from the streusel.

Made with crispy-skin chicken thighs and fresh peaches, this single-pot dish is a delicious summer twist on the French tradition of wine-braised chicken recipes. The chicken thighs are seared until crispy on the stove top before getting braised in white wine in the oven with peaches. As they bake, the peaches soften and meld into the flavorful chicken drippings to create a succulent sweet and salty sauce.

Known in French as Pêches Melba, this French bistro classic is a cup-held dessert of syrup-poached peaches served atop vanilla ice cream, all doused with a sweet raspberry coulis. It’s a breeze to recreate at home, and is naturally best made at the height of summer, when peaches are at their sweetest, juiciest peak. Think of Pêches Melba as France’s version of peaches and cream—but with that little extra je ne sais quoi.
