Tennessee Peach Pudding is a delightfully warm and comforting dessert that’s topped with a luscious sauce and juicy peaches. It’s not heavy or overly sweet either.

I think it’s a perfect summer or fall dessert, and if you’re not a fan of peaches, feel free to use other fruits. It will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a cozy dessert that’s not overly sweet, you’ve come to the right place. When you make a moist and flavorful pudding and pair it with a rich, fruity sauce, you get the perfect dessert. The addition of peaches just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for a comforting treat, and this dreamy pudding reminds me of warm, cozy evenings. Not a fan of peaches? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious without them.
