Peach Pizza
A unique peach-flavored dessert pizza featuring a sweet crust topped with cream cheese, nuts, and peach jello, perfect for summer gatherings and sweet tooth cravings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the self-rising flour, melted margarine, brown sugar, and chopped nuts together.
- Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch pan and pat out like a pizza crust.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 300°F and let cool.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter crust, you can substitute half of the margarine with unsweetened applesauce. If you prefer a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free self-rising flour blend. When mixing the ingredients, avoid over-mixing to keep the crust tender. For added flavor, consider incorporating vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the Peach Pizza into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad. This dish is perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or as a sweet ending to a barbecue.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until warm. For a crispy crust, you can also reheat in an oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of peach jello?
Yes, you can absolutely use fresh peaches! Simply slice them thinly and layer them on top of the cream cheese mixture before chilling. This adds a fresh, juicy flavor to the dessert and enhances its overall appeal.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative, such as cashew cream or a non-dairy cream cheese. Additionally, you can use coconut margarine instead of regular margarine for the crust.
What can I do if I don't have Cool Whip?
If you don't have Cool Whip, you can make your own by whipping heavy cream with a bit of sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This homemade whipped cream can replace Cool Whip and will add a lovely lightness to the dessert.
