Description

This Peach Parfait with Salted Graham Cracker Crumble is a delightful dessert combining sweet, tender peaches cooked with brown sugar and lemon juice, fresh raspberries lightly mashed for an added tartness, and a rich whipped cream topping. All these layers are complemented with a crunchy, salted graham cracker crumble baked to golden perfection. Perfect for warm weather or any time you crave a fresh, fruity parfait with a satisfying texture contrast.

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crumble

  • 5 graham crackers, finely crushed
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, divided
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Peaches

  • 2 ripe peaches, cut into ⅓-inch wedges
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)

Raspberries & Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Graham Cracker Crumble: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a food processor, pulse the graham cracker crumbs, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and ¼ cup granulated sugar until finely ground. Transfer this mixture to a medium bowl, then add the melted butter. Mix until a few large clumps form. Spread the crumble evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, shaking the pan once midway, until golden and crisp. Remove and let it cool completely.
  2. Cook Peaches: While the crumble bakes, combine the peach wedges, light brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peaches mixture and cook, tossing often, until the sugar dissolves and peaches soften, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Raspberry Mixture: In a small bowl, mash the fresh raspberries with a spoon. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, mixing well. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften and release juices.
  4. Whip Cream: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until medium-soft peaks form. This will take a few minutes using a hand mixer or whisk.
  5. Assemble Parfaits: Divide the warm cooked peaches among 4 serving bowls or glasses. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream, spoon over the mashed raspberries, and finish by sprinkling the cooled salted graham cracker crumble on top. Serve immediately for best texture contrast.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches in season.
  • Ensure the crumble is completely cooled before adding to maintain its crunch.
  • Adjust sugar amounts slightly depending on the sweetness of your fruit.
  • This parfait is best served shortly after assembly to enjoy the mixture of warm peaches and cool cream.
  • To make ahead, prepare the crumble and peach mixture in advance and refrigerate; whip cream and assemble just before serving.
