Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Optional: sprinkle of cinnamon or drizzle of honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture feels slightly wet but crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Compact well using the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass.
  2. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set.
  3. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Avoid overwhipping.
  5. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture gently in thirds using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.
  6. Assemble the pie: Spoon the creamy filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Arrange thinly sliced fresh peaches on top in a single layer, slightly overlapping.
  7. Chill the pie covered loosely with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the filling firm up and flavors meld.
  8. Before serving, optionally sprinkle cinnamon or drizzle honey over the peaches. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fresh peaches for best texture. If fresh peaches are unavailable, thawed frozen peach slices can be used but texture will be softer. For gluten-free crust, substitute graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs. For dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and coconut cream. Chill the pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Avoid overwhipping cream to prevent grainy texture. Thinly slice peaches for balanced texture.
