Family Favorite Peach Pie
A creamy, peachy dessert with a graham cracker crust, perfect for summer gatherings and family dinners, featuring fresh peaches and a light, fluffy topping.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Allow the cream cheese to soften and mix it with the milk, beating until fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker pie shell.
- Lightly brush the peach slices with a small amount of lemon juice.
- Sprinkle sugar over the peaches.
- Arrange the peach slices on top of the cream cheese layer and cover with Cool Whip.
- Refrigerate the pie until chilled and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. If ripe peaches are unavailable, canned peaches can be used, but drain them well to avoid excess moisture. For a fun twist, consider adding a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar before sprinkling it over the peaches. This peach pie pairs beautifully with my Country Breakfast Pie for a delightful brunch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach pie chilled, garnished with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a festive touch, serve it alongside drinks like a Festive Pina Colada Cheesecake for a sweet dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover peach pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to maintain freshness. It can last for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy it later, slice individual pieces and freeze them in airtight containers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do if I don't have a graham cracker pie shell?
If you don’t have a graham cracker pie shell, you can use a traditional pie crust. Alternatively, make a quick crust using crushed cookies or biscuits mixed with melted butter. This adds a unique flavor and texture to the pie.
