Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, choose ripe, fresh peaches. If fresh peaches are unavailable, canned peaches can be used, but ensure they are well-drained. You can also substitute the low-fat plain yogurt with Greek yogurt for added thickness. Sweetness can be adjusted by varying the amount of honey used, or you can use maple syrup as an alternative.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the creamy peach pudding chilled, garnished with additional peach slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor. It makes a delightful dessert on its own or can be paired with Butterscotch Chews for a sweet treat combo. This dish is also excellent as a part of a brunch spread or picnic.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pudding may thicken upon chilling, so stir gently before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may become grainy when thawed. For best results, enjoy it fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used, but make sure to thaw and drain them well before adding to the dish. This will help prevent excess water from making the pudding too runny.
Is there a dairy-free option for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the creamed cottage cheese with a dairy-free cream cheese or silken tofu blended until smooth. Use a non-dairy yogurt as a replacement for the low-fat plain yogurt to keep the recipe dairy-free.
How can I make this pudding sweeter?
To increase the sweetness, simply add more honey to taste. Alternatively, you can incorporate a bit of agave syrup or maple syrup if you prefer. Taste the mixture before pouring it over the fruit to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
