Fresh Peach and Cream Cheese Pie

by Jamie
 
**UPDATED AUGUST 2023** This beautiful Fresh Peach and Cream Cheese Pie has become a family favorite of ours, since I first posted it on the blog nearly 13 years ago. My oldest son requests it for his birthday each year and we have had many a family gathering where it makes an appearance. The fresh peaches make it fabulous. Hope some of you get a chance to try it, if you haven’t already! 


 
 
If you are a fan of fresh peaches, I implore you to give this amazing pie a try.
 
 
The peaches keep their amazing fresh flavor, because only a small portion of them are cooked and thickened.
 
 
 
 
These beautiful peaches are added to the thickened mixture and set aside to cool slightly, while you make your lovely…
 
 
Graham cracker crust that holds just a slight taste of cinnamon.
 
 
I like to use the bottom of a measuring cup to press it into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
 
 
Beautiful!
 
 
A silky, sweet cream cheese filling is spread over the crust.
 
 
Then the wonderful fresh peach topping is spread over the cream cheese filling.
 
It really is heaven in every bite, my friends. I hope you get a chance to try it!
 
Happy Peach Season!

Ingredients

  • Peach Topping:
  • 1/2 C water
  • 3 T cornstarch
  • 2 large peaches, peeled and smashed up
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1/2 t almond extract
  • 2 T butter
  • 8 peaches, peeled and sliced
  • Crust:
  • 3 C graham cracker crumbs (about 2 packages)
  • 7 T butter, melted
  • 1/2 C sugar
  • 1/8 t cinnamon
  • dash salt
  • Filling:
  • 2   8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1   16 oz cool whip
  • 2 C powdered sugar
  • 2 t vanilla
  • dash salt

Instructions

PEACH TOPPING
 
1. Place your cornstarch into a small bowl. Pour the 1/2 C water over the top and stir it around until it's all combined.
2. In a separate bowl smash up the 2 peaches.
3. Put your smashed peaches, sugar, almond extract, butter and cornstarch mixture into a medium sized sauce pan. Stir it all up.
 4. Heat up the mixture over medium high. Let it come to a boil while you stir it. Let it cook for about 2 minutes or until it's nice and thick. Set it aside to cool. Give your self a high five.
 
 
CRUST
 
1. Put all crust ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Stir them around until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture in half. Press each half into a 9 inch pie tin. I like to use a measuring cup to press it in. 
 
FILLING
 
1. With electric beaters (or with your stand mixer) beat the cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add the sugar, vanilla, dash of salt, and beat until nice and smooth....again with the smooth.
3. Add your cool whip....and get the old girl rolling. Blend it up until it's fluffy-ish. Wow. That's technical.
4. Put half of the filling into each crust. Spread it out evenly with a knife.5. Add the rest of your fresh peaches to the your cooled topping glaze. Stir until combined and pour over the top of each pie. Wrap each pie with plastic wrap and let it chill out in the fridge for at least an hour.

That peach pie looks like the perfect way to enjoy peaches. I love the fact that it uses a graham cracker crust instead of a pastry one. I've also been working with fresh peaches and just made my first batch of peach jam. Come check it out if you have a chance. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2010/09/peach-jam.html

Super yummy! We just planted our peach tree so I don't have any fresh peaches…but I did see “your” Kristine and didn't even give her a high 5! 🙁

Happened across your post today for the peach pie, and have been cruising around here for quite awhile looking at all your recipes you have posted, in a word Yummy!

Love your blog! Just thought I would give you an additional idea for your pie. Before putting the glaze on, also dot on fresh raspberries and instead of smashed peaches smash up a few raspberries and make a raspberry glaze instead of peaches! Delicious and the pink glaze makes it look beautiful! Yum!

Jamie-
What is the best way to peel peaches? I am making this pie on Sunday for the family dinner and I cannot wait!

Reply
Jamie Cooks It Up! October 1, 2010 - 4:17 am

The Newmans,
I like to submerge them in HOT water in my sink. Let them sit and soak for about 10 minutes. This should make the peels come off easily. Good luck!

I made this last night and it was so great! I didn't pay attention to the amount of Cool Whip to add, so I accidentally added half of what was needed. It was still very light at fluffy. I also used a premade graham cracker crust because I'm lazy. This is a keeper for sure!

Made this over the week -end for the family. THEY LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT!!! I had a little problem with the crust staying together. How might I fix that in the future? Followed the recipe exactly.
I really look forward to Wed. & Fri. for your new recipes, and have enjoyed many, many of your older ones. And yes, high-five to Kristine!!!

Jamie September 10, 2012 - 1:30 pm

Hi Jan,
The crust haveing crumbling problems may be due to your brand of graham crackers, or perhaps the butter. Next time try adding 1 more tablespoon of butter and see if that helps.
Thanks,
~Jamie

Bonnie July 19, 2014 - 9:35 am

Baking the crust for 8 to 10 minutes helps with keeping it less crumbly. I use low fat crackers.

This looks wonderful ! I am making it for a church group that meets tomorrow night. If I make it a day ahead, will the peaches turn brown? Thanks for sharing.

Jamie September 12, 2012 - 10:35 am

Hi Steve,
I don’t think you would have any trouble with your peaches turning brown. Once they have been mixing in with the cooked ingredients they should be fine. Good luck!

Jamie, you were correct and the pies were a major hit. I have already been asked to bring them again. I told them all of your great site.

I am going to try the same recipe except using strawberries instead of peaches and dropping the almond extract. What do you think?

Reply
Jamie September 13, 2012 - 5:46 pm

Hey there,
I think using strawberries would work out really well. I would omit the almond extract, as you suggested and maybe add a bit of lemon juice. I have a couple of other fruit and cream pie recipes you might like.

They are both similar to the Peach and Cream Cheese Pie.
Good luck!

Jeri September 17, 2012 - 1:07 pm

LOVED IT!!! I also had a problem with the crust staying together. It looked terrible on the plate but no one cared once they tasted it!!! Would baking the crust help? I will also try more butter like you suggested. Thank you for making cooking fun again!!!

Reply
Jamie September 18, 2012 - 6:37 am

Hi Jeri,
Yes, you can bake the crust to help it harden. Just about 7-8 minutes at 350 degrees would do the trick. I would try a little more butter first. Good luck! So glad your guests like it.

I was wondering if you thought this pie would be ok to make a few and freeze for a later day? Some pies do great that way and others don’t, so I thought I would see what you thought. Thanks so much!

I made this with my big, juicy Colorado peaches tonight. I made just one pie by halving the recipe in a 10-inch pie plate. I think the peaches are so juicy that the cooked filling just caused the fresh peaches to ooze or weep. Next time I will be cooking for a crowd and will put both pies into one large 9 x 13 pan. It will not be as pretty but easier to manage to transport and serve. We just loved this pie so fresh and delicious and will remember these tasty peach pies long into the winter months when the snow flies.

Hey Phyllis, I have a bunch of big, juicy Colorado peaches just waiting to go into this recipe! I am wondering if you tried it in the 9×13 pan. It sounds like a great idea! How did it work out?

Thank you for this recipe!!

I make an entire peach pie (like strawberry, but using peaches) with a cup of sugar in it, so I think for just a topping, one cup will be too much. That said, I usually cut the sugar in every dessert we make!!

Hi Jamie!
My friend has made this pie for me a couple of times and I die a little each time…so so good!! But I was wondering if you could use fresh whipped cream in place of the cool whip?

Reply
Jamie August 27, 2018 - 1:50 pm

Charlynn,
I haven’t ever tried it with fresh whipped cream, my thoughts are that it would turn out great as long as you plan to serve it the same day.
Best of luck!

Made with gluten-free graham crackers we put in the food processor. Did adjust cool whip to 8 ounces as all we had. Totally Gluten free now and totally yummy.

Carolee August 13, 2019 - 12:24 pm

This was great except the pie crust fell apart. You didn’t mention baking it for 10 minutes, which I learned is necessary for it to hold together. Maybe I missed that important info, but some of us need very exact instructions. Thanks for the recipe. Next time it will be perfect.

Alyce Schoenagel September 15, 2019 - 5:16 am

I made this pie for my husband. I did not have time to make the crust so I used a pre made one. The filling looked thick, but when I put it on top of the cream cheese mix, it eventually “ran” and pooled heavily along the sides. I actually used a straw to suck off the excess! It tasted OK overall; much better flavor the next day. I will probably try a different recipe next time.

Reply
Karen August 22, 2020 - 10:02 am

Consider using sweetened whipped heavy cream instead of the chemical based cool whip! I’d also sub out the cinnamon with lemon zest and lemon juice instead of almond extract for a refreshing summery taste.

Reply
Shirley Kirves July 27, 2021 - 1:48 pm

This is a delicious peach pie. I’ve made it twice! I did use vanilla instead of almond, and no cinnamon. Also, to make it more convenient I used two ready made graham cracker crust. Yummy!

This peach cream cheese pie is a July 4th tradition for our family. We usually purchased it ready made. Finally one day I decided it couldn’t be that difficult to make and made it for a girlfriend while visiting her. I suggested giving one pie to a neighbor, but she declined vigorously. She enjoyed that pie for breakfast and after dinner until it was all gone. I’m so glad to find your recipe since I didn’t keep the one I made on vacay. It’s delicious and I love the aroma of the fresh peaches filling the kitchen. Thanks for sharing this recipe. PS This recipe fills a sheet cake pan easily and then can be covered when there leftovers.
