Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 0.25 cup Peach preserves
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening preserves)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set, or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes if you prefer a firmer crust. Let it cool completely before filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the softened cream cheese until fully incorporated, creating a smooth, creamy filling.
Fold in the diced peaches into the cream mixture until evenly distributed.
Spoon the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or until set.
While the pie sets, heat the peach preserves in a small saucepan over low heat. If the preserves are too thin, stir in the cornstarch and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Once the pie has set, drizzle the peach preserves over the top for a glossy, fruity finish. Garnish with additional peach slices, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Creamy Peaches Dream Pie!
