**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

  • 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

  • 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.

  1. 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!

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

  3. 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!

  4. After making this, the recipe is spreading like wild fire. It is become a favorite of anyone that has the luck of tasting it. Thank you so much for sharing and for the push to try new things!

  5. I was looking for a yummy peach dessert for our Scrapbooking weekend with a bunch of ladies. I am so excited to make this, they will love it.

  6. 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!

  7. Jamie, I made this for a family dinner tonight. The pan was licked clean. Delicious!!! Hope you guys are doing well.

    1. Hi Trenna,
