    If you love the taste of fresh juicy peaches, Peaches and Cream Pie will be your new favorite! Have you ever taken a bite of a fresh ripe peach in the summer and the juice goes down your face and hands?

    Those are the perfect peaches to use for this pie. The filling isn't baked so you can still taste all of that fresh deliciousness in each bite.

    Peaches and Cream Pie is always a super popular option when it comes to pies. It's a hard decision to make between that and my Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie.

    Peaches and Cream Pie is nice and easy to put together. It's even easier if you decide to use a store bought crust. Store bought or homemade works just fine for this recipe.

    My peach cobbler with cake mix recipe is another easy dessert for peach season. It's basically a peach dump cake you can throw together in 10 minutes then bake.

    I like to use Epicurious' recipe for flaky pie crust. Just take note if you decide to try out the recipe from Epicurious, the dough has to be made the day before and refrigerated overnight before baking it.

    Ingredients for Peaches and Cream Pie

    • Fresh Peaches
    • Pie Crust - store bought or I like to use this pie crust recipe.
    • Demerara sugar
    • Egg
    • Sugar
    • Cornstarch
    • Water
    • Peach Jello
    • Cream Cheese
    • Cool Whip

    Tips for Peaches and Cream Cheese Pie

    • Let the crust cool completely before filling it
    • Make sure the water, sugar and cornstarch mix comes to a boil. Let it boil for 2 minutes while whisking. If it does not boil it will not reach its full thickening potential
    • Make sure the mixture comes to a boil again for 1 minute after adding the Jello
    • Fresh peaches are the best for this pie, just as they are for Burrata Salad. It will not taste the same if you try using frozen or canned. It also makes a huge difference if the peaches are in season or not
    • You can use different types of fruit if peach is not your favorite. Some other choices would be: mango, blueberry, raspberry, kiwi or strawberries like my Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie!
    • This pie holds well so it's easily made in the morning for that evening or even a day ahead of time. Leave the Cool Whip off until serving

    Can you freeze this pie?

    I wouldn't recommend it. It doesn't hold up well in the freezer and the quality will be compromised.

    How many days is Peaches and Cream Pie good for?

    This fresh peach pie will hold in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. After that it begins to get a little soggy and doesn't have the best texture. If you make homemade pie crust that will help keep the crust crunchy and flaky a bit longer than store bought pie crust.

    How to make Peaches and Cream Pie

    First is your pie crust. If you're using store bought, follow the directions on the box to fully bake the crust and cool it. If you're using the Magpie dough from Epicurious, follow this recipe https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/magpie-dough-for-flaky-piecrust NOTE: The dough from Epicurious must be started the day before baking. It has to chill in the fridge overnight before baking.

    Next pour the granulated sugar, cornstarch and water into a heavy bottomed medium sauce pan. Whisk until there are no lumps. Bring the sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat. Meanwhile, peel and slice the peaches and set aside. Continue whisking the sugar mixture until it boils.

    Let the mixture boil for 1 minute while whisking. Add in the Jello and continue whisking for 1-2 more minutes while the mixture boils. Remove it from the heat and allow it to start cooling. After 20 minutes of cooling, add the sliced peaches and stir.

    While the peach mixture is cooling, beat the room temp cream cheese and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer until well blended. Spread the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of the completely cooled pie crust.

    Pour the peach mixture on top of the cream cheese mixture and move pie to the fridge to cool. Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. Add the cool whip before serving and enjoy your Peaches and Cream Pie!

    Peach Cobbler with Cinnamon Rolls is another great peach recipe that can be used for breakfast or dessert!
