This rendition on the classic peaches and cream is surprising, light, and refreshing. I am a big fan of Babcock peaches and other white peach varieties, and I make many dishes when this early summer fruit makes its debut. I’ll toss chopped peaches into arugula salad to create a sweet and bitter contrast or add them to pies, crostatas, quick breads, and fruit compotes.

Don’t worry if you can’t find white peaches; orange ones work nicely as well. This no-cook sweet is Seriously Simple, especially if you have the ingredients on hand.
