A lovely recipe for a delicious and easy summer bake! These Roasted Peach & Nectarine Butter Squares are yummy, perfectly fudgy, easy to make and perfect to eat throughout the summer. These Roasted Peach & Nectarine Butter Squares are made with a few easy ingredients, easy to make and will be appreciated by everyone! They are gluten, oil and sugar free.
Peaches and nectarines, two of my favorite summer fruits! I love to use them in salads, breakfast bowls, make jams and condiments out of them, eat just as are or use them in baking! These squares are made with sweet, flavorful roasted peach and nectarine butter with caramelized tones in it. The peach and nectarine butter is swirled into the batter, making sure you feel the flavor of it in every bite. It also has dollops of a sweet curd/farmers cheese mixture on top of it, that add a creamy and fresh taste and texture to the cake. Last but not least, sliced peaches and nectarines that add a nice chewing resistance while still being soft and tender. Simply a yummy, delicious, sweet yet fresh cake that is perfect to eat throughout the summer. These peach and nectarine squares are healthy enough to have for breakfast but delicious and yummy enough to eat afternoon snack or dessert.They’re gluten, oil and sugar free.
A few tips:
- I made my own Roasted Peach & Nectarine Butter that I used in this recipe. It is really easy to make, and totally worth it! You can however use a peach/nectarine jam if you don’t have time or the possibility to make your own peach and nectarine butter.
- I used my Farmers Cheese recipe for the sweet cheese topping. This farmers cheese is truly my favorite to use for these type of sweet cheese fillings/toppings. You can however use ricotta, curd or cottage cheese as well. If using cottage cheese I would recommend you to mix the sweet cheese batter using a stand mixer to get a creamier and smoother texture. It does not have to be completely smooth (the farmers cheese mixture is not completely smooth either).
- If using my Farmers Cheese recipe you might want to start by skipping the yogurt/quark stated in the recipe, then add some if needed to make it creamier.
- You can adjust the amount of monk fruit/sweetener and cinnamon according to taste.
- Adjust the baking time according to how fudgy/cakey you prefer your squares.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing it.
- Store the squares in the fridge for 5-6 days.
