Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the unflavored gelatin in boiling water.
- Stir in the sugar-free vanilla ice cream until melted and smooth.
- Add the lite whipped topping and mix well.
- Fold in the diced fresh peaches.
- Pour the mixture into a deep dish pie shell.
- Chill until the filling is firm and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the mixture. If fresh peaches are out of season, frozen peaches can be used; just thaw and drain them well before adding. To reduce sweetness, you can adjust the number of Equal packets based on your taste preference. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie shell.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the creamy peach pie chilled, garnished with a dollop of additional lite whipped topping and a sprinkle of fresh peach slices for an elegant touch. It pairs beautifully with a refreshing beverage like Cherry Fizz or can be enjoyed alongside a light salad for a balanced meal. Consider serving it as a delightful dessert at summer gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days. To maintain the pie's texture, avoid freezing, as the whipped topping and gelatin may separate upon thawing. If serving later, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
