Peach (OMG) Torte

Fresh Peach Torte

 My stepmom, Esta, and I made this torte.

Fact is, it’s pretty much a no-bake cheesekcake or cream pie (or whatever you wanna call it) with fresh Colorado peaches.

Fresh Peach Torte

I’m talkin about the juice-running-down-your-chin-n-forearm-when-you-bite-in, kind o’ peaches.

You want to hear how yummy this is?!

We brought this wonderful creation over to my grandparents house. My dad and grandparents all decided they wanted a little snack and peach torte was sounding like the answer.

My fam may or may not have had dessert before AND after dinner. Little piggies we are.

My brother and my soon-to-be sis-in-law were also there (hey guys)! The three of us were pretending like we were going to watch these people eat this dessert and we would have a “little” later after dinner. Yeah, that lasted about 3 minutes and then we all might as well have been face first in this dessert. Holy goodness! I’m sure not good at dealing with temptation. Stick a piece of this torte in front of my face and it’ll be gone in seconds.

The funny part is, my almost sister-in-law “doesn’t didn’t like cheesecake”. Try it, you must.

And if this doesn’t say enough about this dessert, I’m not sure what will. Except that my dad licked the plate… but what else is new?

Enjoy it… We sure did!

Smooth as a Georgia Colorado Peach!
