A refreshing peach pie glaze with sweetened peaches and a vibrant gelatin topping, perfect for summer desserts or fruit-filled pies that appeal to all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix peach Jell-O, sugar, and clear jell in a bowl.
- Add the mixture to hot water and stir until dissolved.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 30 seconds.
- Allow the mixture to cool and thicken.
- Pour over thick sliced peaches in a baked crust.
- Chill and serve topped with whipped cream or other toppings.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches and adjust the sugar based on their sweetness. If you can't find clear jell, you can substitute with cornstarch mixed with a bit of water. To prevent the glaze from being too runny, ensure it thickens adequately before pouring over the peaches. Consider pairing this pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream or a light drizzle of Creamy No Cook Sauce(For Fresh Fruit) for added decadence. This pie pairs beautifully with a side of vanilla ice cream or even a refreshing fruit salad for a light finish. It’s perfect for summer gatherings or as a sweet ending to any meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the crust's integrity, it's best to keep the filling and crust separate until serving. If the pie becomes too soft, you can chill it briefly in the fridge before serving to help it firm up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them well before using to prevent excess moisture in the pie. The flavor may differ slightly, but it will still be delicious. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the frozen peaches.
How can I make this pie healthier?
You can reduce the sugar in the glaze and use whole grain or almond flour for the crust. Additionally, try using a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. For a lighter option, consider serving it with Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream.
What can I do with leftover peach glaze?
Leftover peach glaze can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt. You can also drizzle it over cakes or use it as a sweet dip for fresh fruit. It adds a lovely peach flavor to many desserts!
