Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- one 9 inch graham cracker crust, homemade or prepackaged
Cream Cheese Layer
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup Cool Whip, thawed or store brand equivalent
Gelatin and Pudding Mixture
- one 3 oz package peach jello
- one 3 oz package cook and serve vanilla pudding
- 1 1/4 cup water
Fruit
- 29 ounce can sliced peaches, drained (about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare cream cheese layer: Place the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a medium bowl and beat with a mixer until thoroughly blended and smooth. Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the mixture until fully combined. Spread this creamy mixture evenly into the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
- Cook gelatin and pudding: In a small saucepan, combine the peach jello package, cook and serve vanilla pudding mix, and water. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture just comes to a boil. This ensures the gelatin and pudding cook properly and thicken.
- Cool gelatin mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the gelatin and pudding mixture to cool for 5 minutes. This prevents it from melting the cream cheese layer when poured on top.
- Assemble pie: Arrange the drained peach slices evenly over the set cream cheese layer in the crust. Carefully spoon the slightly cooled gelatin and pudding mixture over the peaches, spreading gently to cover them completely.
- Chill the pie: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and chill until well set and cold, about 2-3 hours or overnight, so the flavors meld and the pie firms up for slicing.
Notes
- Use a well-chilled Cool Whip for best texture and ease of folding.
- Ensure the gelatin and pudding mixture is not too hot when pouring over peaches to avoid melting the cream cheese layer.
- The pie can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- For a lighter option, reduced-fat cream cheese and sugar substitutes can be used.
