I was flipping through my third cookbook, Celebrations, last week preparing for Father's Day and I came across this recipe for Gluten Free Peach Cobbler. Naturally, it stopped me in my tracks, and I had an instant craving for it! My Celebrations book is great for holidays, but it's also great for seasonal favorites! This gluten free peach cobbler recipe is in the Father's Day chapter, but it's perfect for any summer night! Top it with my coconut cream whipped topping.
Did you know that Peach Cobbler was the overwhelming choice when I polled all of my readers about which summer dessert they would want to see most in Celebrations?? Obviously, it's not just me that feels nostalgic about this dessert and summertime.
When I came up with this recipe, I thought about traditional peach cobbler, and that classic buttery taste came to mind. The ingredients are essentially flour, butter, and sugar. Since none of those are regulars in our household, I had to come up with something that could mimic the buttery consistency. The first alternative I could think of is cashew. The creaminess of cashews makes for a perfect base! Just like the original, it gives you the perfect balance of crispy and soft baked topping. Then the hint of lemon pulls all of the flavors together so well with a decadent finish. This recipe is entirely satisfying, and I don't even miss the real thing!

How much coconut milk goes into the baked top layer? I only see the quantity for the whipped cream. Thanks!!
Danielle
3/4 cups! Sorry – the whipped cream should be on the next line- it is a different recipe!

I agree with Ali below-We need to know how much coconut milk is for the recipe and how much is called for in the coconut whipped cream topping. It’s not clear because the instructions call for adding coconut milk to the topping mixture with the cashew butter etc. But it’s not in the recipe (only for the topping). Please let us know so we can make this yummy recipe! Thank you Danielle 💕
Danielle
3/4 cup- the whipped cream is a separate recipe and was a typo!
Holly
Hi Danielle, Please let us know like Ali said below how much coconut milk goes into the recipe as it’s called for in the instructions to mix in with the cashew cream for the topping but in the recipe it only lists coconut milk/cream for the topping. I want to make this for my family.. it looks so delicious. Thank you!

Hi Danielle, I would love to use this recipe to make cherry cobbler (since our tree has been very abundant this year…). 🙂
Would you use the same ingredients for the fruit and heat them in a saucepan first?
I was going to add a little bit more lemon juice since I have Bing cherries…
Thank you!

Is there anything you could substitute for the cashews? Do you think raw almond butter would do well? A friends son is allergic to cashews.
Thank you
Alicia
Can you use maple syrup instead of maple sugar?
Danielle
using syrup will change the consistency of the recipe
Karli
Can you use coconut sugar instead of maple sugar? Thx
Danielle
Hi Karli! Yes, you can sub with maple sugar.
Jodie Tipton
Hey, Danielle! I do not see when to use the ghee. Please help!
Danielle
Hi Jodie! Leave the ghee or coconut oil in the baking dish – you’ll spoon the peach mixture over it. I’m glad you’re giving this recipe a try; enjoy!
