How to Make Peach Yogurt Cake
When peach season arrives, it is the perfect time to enjoy one of summer’s sweetest flavors. This peach yogurt cake is made with a simple biscuit crust, a light yogurt cream, and fresh peaches that make every bite creamy, fruity, and refreshing.
First, you will prepare the crust, then make the peach yogurt filling, and finally add a beautiful peach gelatin topping. After chilling, the cake sets perfectly and becomes a fresh no-bake dessert that is easy to slice and serve.
Step 1: Make the Biscuit Crust
In a large bowl, add the crushed biscuits, milk, melted butter, and sugar. Gently mix everything together with your hands until the biscuit mixture is evenly combined and slightly moist.
Transfer the mixture into a 26 cm cake ring or springform pan.
Baker’s Tip: I like to use a cake ring without the bottom for no-bake cakes because it makes the cake easier to shape, smooth, and remove later.
Spread the biscuit mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Press it down gently with your hand or a spatula, then use the bottom of a glass to press the crust firmly and evenly. This helps the biscuit crust come together nicely and hold its shape.
Set the crust aside while you prepare the perfect refreshing cream made with yogurt, peaches, and whipping cream.
Step 2: Make the Peach Yogurt Cream
Now it is time to make the light and refreshing peach yogurt cream.
First, wash and peel the peaches. Remove the pits and cut the peaches into small pieces. Set aside 1 cup of chopped peaches because we will use them later for the peach topping.
In a small bowl, add the gelatin and pour 50 ml of cold water over it. Let it sit for a few minutes until the gelatin blooms and becomes thick. After that, gently melt the gelatin, but do not let it boil.
Important Note: We will use half of the melted gelatin for the cream and save the other half for the peach topping.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cold whipping cream.
Baker’s Tip: It is best to keep the whipping cream in the fridge until you are ready to use it because cold cream whips much better.
Whip the cream until it becomes fluffy, creamy, and firm.
Add the peach yogurt, chopped peaches, and half of the melted gelatin to the whipped cream. Gently mix everything together until the cream is smooth, fruity, and well combined.
Pour the peach yogurt cream over the biscuit crust that you prepared earlier. Spread it evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the cake in the fridge for about 20 minutes, just until the top layer becomes slightly firm. This will make it easier to pour the peach topping over the cream without mixing the layers.
Ovaj korak je savršeno jasan i precizan. Korištenje štapnog miksera (immersion blender) za preliv je odličan detalj koji osigurava da tekstura gornjeg sloja bude glatka i profesionalna.

Step 3: Make the Peach Topping
Now prepare the fresh peach topping.
In a bowl or measuring cup, add the water and the reserved peaches. Blend everything well with an immersion blender until the mixture becomes smooth and fruity.
Add the sugar and the remaining melted gelatin, then mix again until everything is fully combined. The topping should be smooth, light, and easy to pour.
Take the cake out of the fridge and gently pour the peach topping over the slightly firm yogurt cream layer. Pour it slowly so the topping spreads evenly across the top of the cake.
Return the cake to the fridge and let it chill for at least 4 hours, but for the best result, leave it overnight. This will help the cream and peach topping set completely, so the cake slices beautifully.
Step 4: Serve the Cake
Once the cake is fully chilled and set, carefully remove the cake ring or springform pan. If needed, gently run a thin knife around the edges before removing the ring.
Decorate the top with fresh peach slices, mint leaves, or any decoration you like. Slice the cake with a sharp knife and serve it cold.
This no-bake peach yogurt cake is best served straight from the fridge. It is creamy, refreshing, fruity, and perfect for summer days.
Baker’s Tip: For the cleanest slices, chill the cake overnight and wipe the knife with a clean towel between each cut.
How to Store and Freeze Peach Yogurt Cake
This peach yogurt cake should be stored in the refrigerator because it is made with fresh dairy, fruit, and gelatin. To keep it tasting its best, keep the cake covered or place individual slices in an airtight container so they stay fresh and do not absorb other smells from the fridge.
Refrigerating
- Storage Time: You can store this cake in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- Best Practice: For the best taste and texture, serve it cold straight from the fridge. Following USDA guidelines for creamy, dairy-based desserts, using refrigerated leftovers within 3 to 4 days ensures the highest quality and safety.
Freezing
Not Recommended: I do not recommend freezing this cake. Because it contains a creamy yogurt filling, fresh peaches, and a gelatin topping, the delicate texture can change dramatically after freezing and thawing. Gelatin-based dairy desserts tend to separate, lose their creaminess, or release excess water when thawed.
For the absolute best results, make this cake one day ahead and let it chill overnight. This gives the creamy yogurt filling and the vibrant peach topping plenty of time to set beautifully, making it incredibly easy to slice and serve the next day!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this peach yogurt cake ahead of time?
Yes, this peach yogurt cake is perfect for making ahead. For the best texture, prepare it the day before and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight. This helps the cream and peach topping set beautifully.
Do I have to bake this cake?
No, this is a completely no-bake peach yogurt cake. The biscuit crust sets in the fridge, and the creamy yogurt filling firms up with gelatin.
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh peaches?
Yes, you can use canned peaches if fresh peaches are not available. Just make sure to drain them very well before adding them to the filling or topping so the cake does not become too watery.
What kind of yogurt should I use?
Use a thick, peach-flavored yogurt for the best taste and texture. A thicker yogurt helps the filling stay rich, creamy, and firm after chilling.
Why does the cake need to chill for so long?
Because this cake relies on gelatin to set the yogurt cream and peach topping, it needs ample time to firm up. Chill it for at least 4 hours, though overnight is highly recommended for the cleanest slices.
Can I freeze peach yogurt cake?
No, freezing is not recommended. The combination of yogurt, whipping cream, fresh peaches, and gelatin can separate, lose its creamy texture, and release water once thawed.
How do I get clean slices?
For perfect, bakery-style slices, chill the cake overnight to ensure it is fully set. Use a sharp, warm knife and make sure to wipe the blade clean with a towel between every single cut.
