Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter flavor, consider using a mix of fresh peaches and canned peach slices. If fresh peaches are out of season, you can substitute with frozen peaches, just ensure they are thawed and drained. To enhance the citrus notes, try adding a splash of lemon juice. Make sure to stir the mixture continuously to prevent lumps from forming. This pie can also be served warm for a different experience.
Serving Suggestions
This Peach Glace Pie is delightful on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess. Consider serving it alongside a light salad or as a sweet finish to a summer barbecue. For an extra touch, drizzle a bit of honey over the whipped cream before serving, enhancing the overall sweetness and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, ensuring they don't lose their texture. If you prefer it chilled, simply enjoy it straight from the fridge for a refreshing treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it necessary to chill the pie before serving?
Chilling the pie for at least 2 hours is essential as it allows the filling to set properly, making it easier to slice. However, if you're in a hurry, you can serve it slightly warm, but for the best texture and flavor, chilling is highly recommended.
