Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (21 oz) can peach pie filling
Garnish
- Fresh peach slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form the crust.
- Make the cream cheese mixture: Using a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape without collapsing when the whisk is lifted.
- Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble the pie: Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the prepared crust. Spoon the peach pie filling evenly over the cream layer. Then spread the remaining cream mixture over the peaches, smoothing the top.
- Chill: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish the top of the pie with fresh peach slices for added freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Be sure to soften the cream cheese to room temperature to ensure a smooth filling.
- Use fresh peaches in season for the best garnish and flavor enhancement.
- Allow the pie to chill thoroughly to ensure it sets properly and slices cleanly.
- This pie is best served within 2 days for optimal freshness.
