Calories: 320kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers classic and reliable
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • For the Peach Filling:
  • 2 cups fresh peaches peeled and diced (ripe = better flavor)
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups whipped topping or freshly whipped cream
  • For Garnish Optional but Encouraged:
  • Peach slices
  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Whipped cream swirls

Instructions

  • Make the crust.
  • Mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until it looks like wet sand. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 15–20 minutes so it sets properly. No sad crumbly crusts here.
  • Prep the peaches.
  • Peel and dice your peaches into small chunks. If they’re super juicy, pat them dry slightly. Too much liquid can turn your pie into soup—nobody wants that.
  • Whip the filling base.
  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then mix again until creamy and lump-free. This step matters—smooth filling = happy life.
  • Fold it all together.
  • Gently fold in whipped topping, then carefully fold in the peaches. Don’t overmix unless you want peach mush instead of peach bites.
  • Assemble the pie.
  • Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Try not to “taste test” half the bowl before this step. I fail every time.
  • Chill like a pro.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The longer it chills, the better it slices.
