Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (21 ounces/595 grams) can peach pie filling
- 8 ounces/226 grams cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Crust Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
Sweet and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh peach slices for garnish
Instructions
- Craft the foundational layer by blending graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar until thoroughly incorporated. Press the resulting mixture firmly and uniformly across the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, creating a compact base. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing subsequent components.
- Create a silky cream cheese foundation by whipping cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until achieving a luxuriously smooth consistency. Ensure no lumps remain during mixing.
- Separately whip heavy cream until it develops sturdy, defined peaks. Delicately integrate the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining its airy texture through gentle folding techniques.
- Construct the pie’s layers strategically by spreading half the cream cheese mixture across the chilled graham cracker foundation. Carefully distribute peach pie filling over this initial cream layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Complete the layering process by adding the remaining cream cheese mixture, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create an aesthetically pleasing and level top.
- Refrigerate the assembled pie for a minimum of four hours, allowing flavors to meld and texture to stabilize. Overnight chilling will enhance the dessert’s overall structure and taste profile.
- Prior to serving, embellish the pie with fresh peach slices and a delicate sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, adding visual appeal and complementary texture to the dessert.
Notes
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly to create a solid, compact base that won’t crumble when slicing the pie.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother mixing and preventing lumps in the filling.
- Chill the mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help heavy cream whip faster and achieve stiffer peaks more easily.
- Swap graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives or use almond flour for a low-carb version of the crust.
