Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother filling, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing with the lemon juice and Eagle Brand milk. You can substitute the fresh peaches with other fruits like nectarines or plums if desired. If you're short on time, consider using a pre-made crust instead of making your own. This tart is perfect for summer gatherings or special occasions.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fresh peach tart chilled for the best flavor. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on the side. For a delightful contrast, consider serving it alongside a light salad or some refreshing iced tea. This tart is a wonderful addition to summer picnics or potlucks.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you need to reheat the tart, do so gently in the oven at a low temperature to maintain the crust's texture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy. Enjoy the tart cold for a refreshing treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the tart. This ensures the filling stays firm and the crust remains crisp.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make this tart dairy-free, substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and use coconut milk instead of Eagle Brand milk. Ensure the jello is also dairy-free, as some brands may contain dairy ingredients.
What can I do if the jello doesn't set properly?
If the jello doesn't set, it may be due to insufficient chilling time or the mixture being too warm. Ensure the jello is completely cooled before pouring it over the peaches. You can also add a little extra gelatin to help it set better.
