Fresh peaches baked into puff pastry with a maple syrup drizzle make these Peach Puff Pastry Tarts an excellent summer dessert. They are a great dessert for a summer BBQ because they can even be baked on the BBQ.
These peach pastries are made from fresh peaches, so they are perfect for serving when peaches are in season. Our go-to way to bake these is on the BBQ. They can bake while eating dinner so they are fresh and hot for after dessert.

What Peaches To Use
Our go-to peaches for making this recipe are fresh Ontario peaches, when they are in season.
This is a recipe we tend to only make when peaches are in season because peaches taste best when they are fresh, especially local peaches.
Ingredients for Peach Puff Pastry Tarts
To make these tarts, there are only a few ingredients you will need:
- Fresh peaches.
- Frozen puff pastry, thawed.
- Egg yolk.
- Maple syrup.
- Confectioner’s sugar.
Serving Peach Puff Pastry Tarts
These puff pastry tarts can be served warm or chilled. Either way, these tarts are delicious.
Our favourite way to serve them is while they are still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sometimes we add a drizzle of caramel over the ice cream.
Making These Tarts On The BBQ or Smoker
This recipe is easily made on the BBQ or in a Smoker. In fact, it’s how we usually make these tarts.
Preheat the BBQ or smoker just as you would the oven. Use an offset or indirect cooking method on the BBQ to bake these tarts.
For the smoker, we like to use peach or apple wood to add a touch of smoke.
For another great BBQ dessert using peaches, try our BBQ Bourbon Peach Tarts.
Storing Leftover Peach Puff Pastry Tarts
If there are leftovers, they can be stored in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 2 days.
The tarts can be reheated if you want to serve them warm. Either warm them in the microwave for 30 seconds or in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
