Tips for making chocolate peach shortcake
Alex and I love the simplicity of this summer dessert: we use it for entertaining all the time for summer dinner parties! A few notes: To make use of the bounty of peaches now in season, we created this chocolate peach shortcake compliment the juicy ripe peaches. You can also use nectarines, whichever you have on hand!
For the shortcake, just mix flour, turbinado sugar (those big sugar crystals that give a satisfying crunch), egg, cocoa powder, and Greek yogurt. Without the typical butter and cream, this peach shortcake is a light and healthy dessert. We topped it with juicy peaches with a hint of balsamic vinegar, a trick we learned a few years ago that we continue to riff on. As a topping you can use Coconut Whipped Cream or Homemade Whipped Cream. Or, try Alcohol Infused Whipped Cream, adding a hint of bourbon or amaretto (both of which pair nicely with peaches).
