One of our favorite things about the warm weather is the bounty of fresh fruit that it brings—like fresh cherries, juicy peaches and sweet-tart blueberries to name a few. No matter what you have on hand after your trip to the orchard or farm stand, its sure to be the perfect addition to any summer dessert. Baking a pie? Preparing a fruit crisp or cobbler? Serving up shortcakes? They’re all better with in-season fruit. That’s why we’ve rounded up so many delicious recipes for you to try, starting with one that’s perfect for the warm weather: peach-topped cheesecake. We can never resist a good summer slow-cooker recipe (why heat up the entire kitchen if you don’t have to?) but the moist environment does double-duty for cheesecake: it prevents crack from forming and it helps achieve a smooth, creamy texture. Topped with our favorite stone fruit, it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Make the most of your fresh summer berry harvest with this beautiful and easy dessert.

Crystal Wahpepah says, "Berries are as indigenous to American landscapes as are my people. That’s why you’ll find them in savory as well as sweet dishes, powdered for medicinal purposes and crushed for dye. They are a staple of our diets--and they are my jam. This simple recipe is evocative of a traditional stovetop cobbler with pillowy biscuit-like dumplings. The natural sweetness of the blueberries and blackberries is heightened by all-natural grape juice and pure maple syrup. Served warm from the stovetop, it’s both comforting and invigorating--and a window into my story with food."

We’ve combined two of our favorite summer treats—ice cream cake and pavlova — in this show-stopping frozen dessert. Just picture a sweet-tart strawberry-lemon ice cream cake topped with a crisp meringue, mounds of whipped cream and fresh juicy strawberries. Most of the prep time is hands-off. The cake sets in the freezer while the meringue cools in the oven. Depending on your brand of lemon curd, you may want to add a few drops of yellow food coloring to brighten it so the swirls of pink and yellow in the cake have more contrast.

We love local spring cherries, but our cobbler works equally well with fresh or frozen cherries. We chose easy drop biscuits for the topping since they allow the jewel-like cherry juices to bubble up around them — a great visual showcase for a simple desert. Baking the cherries first without the topping gives them time to soften in their own juices, and dropping the biscuits on hot filling helps them cook through — no soggy bottoms. Almond goes beautifully with cherries, so we use almond extract in both the filling and topping, plus a little almond flour in the topping as well.
