Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe peaches
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons honey
- N/A optional fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Wash, peel, and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Stir until evenly mixed, then press the mixture into an even layer at the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or serving dish. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside.
In the same mixing bowl (no need to clean it), beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the honey and 2 tablespoons of the prepared whipped cream, and mix until well combined.
Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Retrieve the chilled crust from the refrigerator. Spread half of the cream mixture onto the crust, smoothing it into an even layer.
Arrange half of the sliced peaches on top of the cream layer. Spread the remaining cream mixture over the peaches, then top with the remaining peach slices.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and for the flavors to meld together.
Optional: Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Peaches and Cream Delight!
