Can I use frozen peaches for Southern-Style Tennessee Peach Pudding?

Yes, absolutely! If fresh peaches aren't in season, frozen sliced peaches work wonderfully. Thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the pudding mixture to prevent the pudding from becoming watery.

What are the best serving suggestions for peach pudding?

This Southern-Style Tennessee Peach Pudding is best served warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, a dollop of fresh whipped cream, or a drizzle of cru00e8me frau00eeche. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can also enhance its comforting flavors.

How should I store leftover peach pudding?

Allow the peach pudding to cool completely, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat individual servings gently in the microwave or warm the entire dish in the oven.

What's the difference between peach pudding and peach cobbler?

While both are beloved Southern peach desserts, peach pudding typically has a more custard-like base with peaches baked into a thicker, softer batter, sometimes topped with a thin crust. Peach cobbler, on the other hand, features a fruit filling topped with a biscuit-like dough or a streusel topping, creating a more distinct two-layer structure.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
Step 2: Arrange the sliced peaches evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, forming a thick batter. Do not overmix.
Step 5: Pour the melted butter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Step 6: Spoon the batter over the melted butter and peaches. Again, do not stir. The batter will spread as it bakes.
Step 7: If using, sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg evenly over the top of the batter.
Step 8: Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The peach filling should be bubbly.
Step 9: Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a tablespoon of bourbon to the peach mixture. If using frozen peaches, ensure they are thawed and well-drained to prevent the pudding from becoming watery. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate experience!
