This super creamy and delicious no-bake peach tart, loaded with fresh peaches will be a hit at any table! Keep it simple. buy a store made crust.
When life gives you peaches, it’s time to make my no-bake peach tart!
Bring on those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer!! When summer starts to give it’s worse, it also means it’s time to give us its best, Jersey Peaches!! The first local peaches of the summer have been showing up at our farmer’s market and there is nothing better than a ripe peach in all its juicy sweet glory! I think the best of the summer is still a week or two away, but if these aren’t our best there pretty darn close to it.
With the heat of summer in full force, I try not to bake too much or if I do it’s in the early hours of the day before the heat has set in. For this wonderful fresh creamy concoction, I only needed the oven for a few minutes to bake the tart shell, after that it was as easy as pie! A peach pie that is, or to be more specific a No-Bake Peach Tart!
One of the easiest pies to make, and the perfect treat on a hot summer’s day, cold and creamy with those luscious fresh peach slices….sigh
So my friends find yourself some local peaches, nectarines, or even berries and enjoy the taste of summer, for those of you in the winter of your year, you can substitute frozen fruit, and you have my permission to taunt me in December when your season is in full bloom! But whatever you do take a few minutes to make this delicious treat!

No Bake Peach Tart
Ingredients
- 8 oz Mascarpone Cheese
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- ¾ Cup Confectioners Sugar
- ½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Zest of one lemon finely grated
- 6 peaches pitted, peeled and sliced
- ¼ cup Peach Preserves or orange marmalade
- 1 premade graham cracker pie shell
Pie Crust (if you want to bake your own)
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or ¼ cup granulated sugar)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 ounces cold butter, cut into small cubes (1 stick)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, blend the mascarpone, cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the lemon zest and vanilla extract and mix well.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks appear and fold it into the mascarpone
- mixture.
- Spread the mixture into the pie crust.
- Top with the peach slices.
- In a small saucepan or microwave heat the peach preserves and brush the peaches with the liquefied peach preserves, this adds a nice glaze to the dessert.
- Refrigerate the tart at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.
Pie Crust (if you want to bake your own)
- Process flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor for a few seconds until combined. If you don’t have a food processor, you can do this by using a pastry cutter.
- Add cold butter and pulse until mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse meal, about 15 pulses
- Add egg and keep pulsing until the dough is no longer dry and starts to clump together for about 10-15 seconds.
- Do not process to the point that a large ball of dough is formed; rather the dough should be quite crumbly with large clumps.
- Turn dough to a lightly floured surface and form into a ball. It should come together easily without being sticky. Flatten the ball slightly with your hands to form a thick disc. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and allow it to sit for a few minutes before using.Â
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into an 11-inch circle, then place gently into a 9-inch tart pan (preferably with a removable bottom); you can do this by flouring a rolling pan and rolling the dough loosely around it, then unrolling it into the pan. Brush away any excess flour on the surface. With a sharp knife, trim the edges of the pastry to fit the tart pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking.
- Preheat oven to 375F and place rack in the center.
- Press parchment paper or aluminum foil tightly against the crust, covering the edges to prevent them from burning. Fill with pie weights/dried beans/uncooked rice, making sure they’re fully distributed over the entire surface.
- Bake crust for 25-30 minutes, until foil no longer sticks to the dough. Transfer crust to a wire rack and remove weights and foil.

Definitely love the idea of keeping the oven off. The pie looks scrumptious with lovely ripe peaches. I cannot wait for the Ontario peaches to arrive to Montreal.

Happy Tuesday
lostpastremembered says
Good golly, dennis… that looks splendid. love the marscarpone and peach combo… also.. great peaches are so good uncooked… seems a shame to loose that once a year fresh flavor to make them into a cooked peach pie… which is one step away from jam. It's a keeper!
jen says
Hello Chef Dennis!
Don't think you remember me – I haven't been on your blog for more than half a year!! Was too busy planning the big wedding. But no worries – now I'm back. These peaches look so darn fresh! Makes my mouth watery – I got a lot to learn from you!!!
Have a Fabulous day!

Scrumptiousness !!!! I don't know if we have Jersey peaches here in HK , most of our peaches here usually comes from China & not as juicy tsk tsk would it will be better if I use canned peach instead ? 😀
Kate says
Beautiful!!! I knew there was a reason I bought a box of peaches at the farmer's market this weekend.
Elyse @The Cultural Dish says
I am loving this! Especially the cheese filling… keeper!
The Kitchen Noob says
Oh wow! I was looking for a reason to go back to the store.
98c lbs peaches at the grocery, I think brought in from Georgia. 🙂
Rachel @ My Naturally Frugal Family says
YUM!
I just can't get enough of peach recipes.
Now that they are so bountiful in the farmer's markets (at least in North Carolina…sorry Jill there are none in Paris).
I may have to attempt this…I know it won't look as beautiful, but maybe it can come close to tasting as good.
Pretend Chef says
Perfect ending to a hot summer day. This looks so delicious and I know my guy would love this as much as me. Can't wait to give this a try. Yummy!
Jenn says
Absolutely gorgeous, Chef!! I bet it tasted even better than it looks!
Adora's Box says
Perfect for a lazy summer's day when I just can't make myself do anything. I'll probably buy a flan case. Love the cheese filling.
Valerie says
In summer all we want is cool things! I think this tart is perfect for those times!!
jill Colonna says
No bake? Peaches? This is perfect! Looks absolutely stunning, Dennis. Love also the egg yolks in the recipe 😉
Now, there's just something missing for us to make it – we've lost our summer in Paris. Can you try and send some summer heat this way, pleeease? Must try this dessert and sure we'll get some rays of golden peach warmth!
warmvanillasugar says
This is perfect for summer! Great, cool, recipe!
Lisa @ Tarte du Jour says
Gorgeous! Hats off to you! Peaches are out of season down here in Florida but I have mango tree in my backyard… perhaps mangos could stand in for the peaches here. I love this recipe.
Boulder Locavore says
This looks delicious and like summer. It is too early for peaches here and with our wacky weather I'm unsure how they'll do. BUT whenever they appear I'm bookmarking this recipe to give it a gluten-free whirl. Thanks Dennis!
Lilly says
We have a no bake tart in Holland called 'kwarktaart'. It’s made with quark, cookies and fruits. It is a true no bake tart, since the crust is made with crusted cookies and butter (somewhat like a graham cracker crust). This will be left to chill till it is hard and then filled with the quark mixture. I will blog about one day, so make sure you check it out.

I love this no bake treat. So far, the peaches have not been that great around here. I know their time is coming. And when that happens, I am making this tart AND peach ice cream.
Charlie @ SweetSaltySpicy says
I jump on every no-bake recipe I can find these days! This tart looks amazing!! I never used mascarpone and peaches together, but I'm sure I would love it!
Nancy says
If that doesn't look like summer I don't know what does!! To me there is almost nothing better than a perfectly ripe peach! This reminds me so much of a pie my mother used to make – now of course I am going to have to dig up the recipe and make it!!
Heidi @ Food Doodles says
Yum! That looks so good! I was just thinking to myself after a really hot day today that I need to dessert recipes that don't need to be baked and this is perfect! Can't wait for some fresh local peaches because that filling looks amazing!

KC Quaretti- Lee says
Thank you Chef Dennis! I have to say just how wonderful the crust turned out and this is a marvelous dessert! I did exactly what you said with the leftover pastry and cheese…just topped it with fresh blueberries. Haven't tried it yet but I'm sure the results will be as good as the peach tarte!
Again, thank you for making tonight's dinner start quality!
Tanantha says
Holy Molly!! Dennis, this peach tart is one of the most mouth-watering tarts! I've seen lots of peaches but mostly I eat them fresh. This tart just inspired me to do something with it. I also like mascarpone cheese as a filling. YUM! You and Patty really motivate me to bake more.
Martha says
Oh yum! I can imagine just how good it tastes! It's very pretty too!
Kim Bee says
Seriously, I am so moving next door to you and your wife. Not in a stalker kind of way. Just so I can pop by for coffee and dessert every day. I don't drink coffee though so I'll just take the dessert. This looks so good. I am missing baking so badly due to the heat. I may have to test drive this recipe. Love peaches. Thanks for sharing with us Chef Dennis!
Becky says
i love fresh fruit desserts in the summer. Your no bake peach tart fits the bill perfectly, filling and fresh fruit in a crust. Can summer get any better than this?
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
I'm always looking for a new no-bake dessert and this looks delicious! I've had some amazing peaches this summer… some other great summer fruit, too. I think I may go through withdrawal when the summer comes to an end.
Parsley Sage says
No peaches here with such a yummy destiny…There's certainly some mangoes here that would fit the bill! Well done 🙂
Adelina says
This looks great and perfect for summer!
Lo-mo says
