**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!

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.
