Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the Eagle Brand milk, lemon juice, and Cool Whip until well combined.

- Sprinkle the remaining pecans on top of the pies.
- Toast 1/4 cup of coconut in a cake pan until golden and sprinkle over the pies.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using low-fat Cool Whip or Greek yogurt instead of regular Cool Whip. You can substitute fresh peaches for canned if they're in season for a fresher taste. If you're nut-free, you can omit the pecans or replace them with sunflower seeds. Make sure to mix the ingredients gently to keep the Cool Whip fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Heavenly Peach Pie chilled for the best flavor. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a delightful brunch option, consider serving it alongside Grandma Bell'S Apple Pie or a light fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to freeze the pie, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and it can last up to 2 months. To enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
