Last week I made another trip to the peach orchard. Yesterday, a few of the peaches that were left were not looking very good. They needed to be used up. I thought about making a cobbler but I wanted to make something different. I found a recipe that I had made several years ago but I changed a few things about it this time. I was really happy with the results. We liked the pie really well.
This recipe makes a great summertime dessert. You do need to make it ahead of time as it needs chill.
Creamy Peach Pie
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup whipping cream, whipped
- 7-8 peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1 graham cracker crust
Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and almond extract. Beat until smooth. Fold in whipped whipping cream. Gently mix in peaches. Pour into graham cracker crust. Chill for 4 hours before serving.

Do you think you could substitute canned peaches if they were drained?
@Amy, I think you easily could do that. The texture may be a little different, but I think it would be fine as long as they are well drained.
Did you use really small peaches? I got what I believe to be average sized peaches, and only ended up using 6 of them and it still ended up being too big for the crust/lid. Haven’t tasted yet, but it looks very “chunky” so I wasn’t sure if I did something wrong
@Tara Dawes, I think they were pretty average sized, but we like it chunky. I am sorry that it did not turn out like you hoped it would. I hope it still tastes good.
@Lynn,
It still turned out pretty good (the family seemed to enjoy it), I think next time I will just use fewer peaches, but the recipe is definitely a keeper!
@Tara Dawes, Thanks for letting me know. I am glad you liked it.
