VOTE: Ree vs. Trisha Summer Fruit Dessert Showdown
We challenged two prestigious groups — Chopped judges and Food Network Star winners — to a summer recipe showdown. All season long, we’ll present head-to-head matchups of mouthwatering summer recipes from each team — from refreshing cocktails to fresh farmers’-market salads to the juiciest backyard burgers. By voting each week here on FN Dish or on our Fan Feed, you’ll determine the winning recipes.
This week, though, we depart from our regularly scheduled Star vs. Chopped competition to bring you a special Summer Showdown featuring mouthwatering dessert recipes from Trisha Yearwood and Ree Drummond. Using fresh seasonal fruit – Ree goes with peaches, Trisha with blackberries – these Food Network all-stars create easy, rustic summer cookout finales that are sure to wow your crowd.
Summer Dessert Showdown: Ree’s Peach Crisp vs. Trisha’s Blackberry Cobbler
A hint of maple syrup gives Ree’s easy peach crisp an unexpected flavor twist. She tosses it with the peaches before baking and also reserves some for a maple cream sauce to drizzle over the warm crisp.
Trisha's double-decker cobbler layers a blackberry-and-sugar mixture with strips of biscuit-like pastry. "The last time I made this, I didn't have time to make homemade pastry, so I used store-bought refrigerated roll-out pastry shells and cut them into strips. It worked great!" says Trisha.
