Description
A refreshing summer dessert featuring a creamy filling made with peaches and Cool Whip, served in a graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches in syrup, drained
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Fresh peach slices for garnish
- Optional: Additional whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Start by softening the cream cheese. You can do this by leaving it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave it for 10-15 seconds. Once it’s nice and soft, beat it with a mixer until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese. Make sure to keep mixing until there are no lumps. The mixture should be light and fluffy, creating a perfect base for the pie.
- Next, pour in the vanilla extract and mix until it’s fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip. This is where the magic happens! Use a spatula to carefully combine the cream cheese mixture with the Cool Whip until it’s just blended. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want that light, airy texture.
- Now, add the drained peaches. Fold them in gently to ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture. You’ll start to see that beautiful peach color throughout.
- Spoon the mixture into the graham cracker crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. You want it to look inviting and delicious!
- Finally, pop the pie into the refrigerator. Chill for at least 120 minutes, but if you can wait, letting it set overnight makes it even better. The flavors meld beautifully!
Notes
Consider using low-fat cream cheese or homemade whipped topping for lighter options. Garnish with fresh fruits for additional flair.
