A quick and easy no-bake peach cream pie with a graham cracker crust, perfect for summer. This creamy, fresh dessert combines peaches and a smooth cottage cheese filling for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheets)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup cottage cheese, small curd
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional toppings: fresh peach slices, mint leaves, light dusting of powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, mix 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass to pack the crust tightly for a crisp base. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a food processor, combine 2 cups diced fresh peaches, 1 cup softened cream cheese, ½ cup cottage cheese, ¾ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip.
  4. Combine Filling and Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peach mixture using a rubber spatula to keep the filling light and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Pour the peach cream filling into the chilled graham crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh peach slices, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and mint leaves if desired. Slice and enjoy chilled.

Notes

Chill the crust for at least 15 minutes to firm up before adding filling. Blend cottage cheese thoroughly for a smooth filling. Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid graininess. Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent watery filling. Pat peaches dry if very juicy. The pie should chill at least 4 hours for best texture. For gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and vegan cream cheese.
