A light, quick, and refreshing no-bake peach cream pie with a buttery graham cracker crust and creamy peach filling, perfect for summer desserts and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • Optional toppings: extra peach slices or peach preserves, chopped toasted pecans or almonds

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and mixture holds together when pressed (about 5 minutes).
  2. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a firm crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat chilled heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes). Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in batches using a spatula to maintain airy texture.
  6. Peel and slice fresh peaches. Fold most peach slices into the cream filling, reserving some for topping.
  7. Pour the peach cream filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Arrange reserved peach slices on top.
  8. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or until filling is set. For best flavor, chill overnight.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Chill crust before adding filling to prevent sogginess. Stop whipping cream at soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Fresh peaches preferred but frozen or canned (drained) can be used. For gluten-free crust, substitute almond flour or gluten-free graham crackers. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and plant-based cream cheese.
