Blueberry Peach Tart
Hello my friends, Happy Saturday! Do you have anything fun on the books for this weekend? After last weeks very fun but c-r-a-z-y weekend in Princeton I am looking forward to some rest and relaxation. I’m hoping to finish a book, spend some time at the farmers market, and maybe even squeeze in a light hike on Sunday afternoon. Fingers crossed it’s the mellow few days my heart and mind are after.
Now, down to business: let’s talk about this Easy Blueberry Peach Tart with Vanilla Glaze.
Juicy peaches + plump blueberries + flaky crust + vanilla… sounds pretty amazing, right?!
Spoiler Alert: IT IS AMAZING!
The number one thing I love about this recipe? It’s so forgiving and easy. <—- I guess that’s actually two things, but you know what I mean?!? With this recipe you can take a deep breath, let the panic go, and really enjoy the whole process of making this dessert because the crust is already made for you; pastry puff, my friends, is such a wonderful thing! You will need to let the pastry puff thaw for 15-20 minutes before folding it out, so keep that in mind when planning to bake this. After that you’ll just fold it out, fill it with fruit, and bake it to sweet golden perfection.
This Blueberry Peach Tart will get you all the ooohs and aaaahs without any of the labor called for in traditional pie making. It’s a beautiful thing. Especially when you’re not in the mood to pump that elbow grease 😉
The humble tart before baking…
The hypnotizing tart after baking…
As a avid lover of Summer fruits, I knew I wanted to load this baby up with the finest of the season. With peaches at their prime and blueberries just beaming with beauty, they were an easy choice for this Summer tart. In terms of flavor these fruits compliment each other perfectly, resulting in a tart that’s plenty fruity and not-too-sweet.
You’ll be thrilled to know the ingredient list for this recipe is short and basic. For the crust you’ll need pastry puff and an egg (you’ll make an egg wash); for the filling you’ll need blueberries, peaches, cinnamon, cornstarch, sugar, and vanilla; and for the vanilla glaze you’ll need confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and a few tablespoons of heavy cream (or milk). No fancy or hard to find ingredients in this one.
See that? That’s my heart right there. Sticky sweet vanilla glaze drizzled generously over the peaches and blueberries that are baked beautifully into a flaky, buttery crust.
I hope your heart, eyes, and mind have convinced you to make this beauty asap! If you’re feeling extra indulgent try adding a few teaspoons of bourbon to the vanilla glaze. <— so naughty; so niiiiiice.

That looks scrumptious! Love all those perfect peach slices, so tempting… 🙂
I am SO making this! Your photos make me want to grab a fork. It’s a lovely dessert using fruits of summer. Thank you so much for sharing! Beautiful blog.
Hi Cynthia! Thank you so so much 🙂 And enjoy the tart! xoxo
The colors are so gorgeous, and I’m sure it tastes amazing! Like a true bite of summertime.
Thank you, Meg! A true bite of Summertime is the perfect description 🙂
This tart is so beautiful! And you have to love the combination of fresh summer peaches and blueberries. I can’t get enough!
was i supposed to fold the crust over? not in the instructions – but got a weird flat crust
P.s. good glaze 😉
From a previous recipe, I lightly scored around the edge of the fruit with a small knife, this encourages the pastry around the edge to puff.
Hi – I tried this tart last night – it was a hit -everyone loved it. My question is this. The instructions say to peel the peach but the picture looks like the peel is still on the peach. It would save SO much time if I did not need to peel the peach. Can you tell me – do you think it will come out as well if I don’t peel the peaches next time? Also I let the dessert sit for a while before I cooked it as I was hosting a party and needed it to be ready – and the middle did not flake up much – do you think it might be getting too soggy?
I just made two of these, and I have to say I hope they taste better the they look. The peaches released too much juice and there is pooling juice everywhere and the does is not what I expected, light or fluffy. I think this recipe needs some work but not sure where. Sorry.
I didn’t peel my peaches, and it was delicious. The peel was soft and largely unnoticeable, other than the color.
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that this recipes was delicious! I featured it on my blog here:

I hope you don’t mind!
This was so good! It was even better than I hoped it would be. Next time I may use fewer peach slices though, as it seemed too heavy for the middle and too juicy. And I’ll need to make two–one for me, and one for the rest of my family. 🙂
This tart was a hit at our dinner party last night! I made it at 5pm and let it cool, then reheated it on 200 at 8pm. Delicious. I skipped the glaze and made whipped cream with maple syrup for sweetness. I can’t wait to try it with other fruit, like strawberries, maybe apples? Great recipe, thank you!
Why does your pic show unpeeled peaches but recipe calls for peeling them ?
Mine also came out tasty, but quite soggy in the middle. I’m wondering if there is a way to combat the excess juice?
Sprinkle some dry tapioca on it before you bake it and it will soak up the juice and taste good too.
I made this tart but my blueberries didn’t release their juices like yours did. Any reason why?
Just a tip for those trying this recipe!
I put my puff in the oven for a few minutes on 350 just to get the middle to puff up and hold its form, then I took it out and put the fruits on and baked— that seems to do the trick, either way the fruits will press down the pastry where they are placed, but it won’t be uncooked/undercooked in the middle if you bake it first. I also added a tad bit more cornstarch to the mix to make sure all the juices didn’t escape – makes it a bit more gel-like rather than soppy and wet. Happy baking!
I wanted to take it out on the boat. It would be okay at room temperature?
The colors are so gorgeous, and I’m sure its tastes amazing! I will try it add it up in my restaurant menu list.
I just made this tart (yes, it’s midnight on a Tuesday night. I’m wild like that!) It looks beautiful but after baking, there is juice everywhere! The sides barely puffed up at all and are soggy because of all the juice. The bottom didn’t fully cook either. What is the fix for this? Less ripe peaches? Higher cooking temp? Lower cooking temp for longer? Thanks!
You say to peel the peaches but in the photo they don’t look peeled?
