No-Bake Peach Cream Delight
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
For the Cream Filling:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
For the Peach Topping:
- 2-3 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 1 can of peach slices, drained)
- 1/2 cup peach preserves or jam (for extra peach flavor)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (to enhance the fruit’s flavor)
Optional Garnishes:
- Fresh mint leaves
- Whipped cream
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until everything is evenly coated and the crumbs are moist.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch round or square pan to form an even crust. Use the back of a spoon to press it firmly.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you make the filling (about 10-15 minutes).
- Make the Cream Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
- Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Beat on high speed until the mixture becomes thick and forms stiff peaks, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined, creating a rich, creamy filling.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- Pour the creamy filling over the chilled graham cracker crust. Spread it evenly to cover the crust completely.
- Smooth the top with a spatula or spoon.
- Prepare the Peach Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the peach slices with peach preserves and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the peaches in the syrupy mixture.
- Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the cream layer.
- Chill the Dessert:
- Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This helps the flavors meld and the filling to set perfectly.
- Serve:
- Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves, whipped cream, or extra peach slices for a beautiful presentation.
- Slice into squares or wedges and enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness of your No-Bake Peach Cream Delight!
Tips:
- Peach Variations: You can swap out peaches for other fruits like mango, berries, or tropical fruit mixes for different flavor combinations.
- Make-Ahead: This is a great dessert to make ahead of time, as it needs time to chill and set.
- For a Lighter Version: Use Greek yogurt or whipped coconut cream as a substitute for the cream cheese and heavy cream for a lighter version of the dessert.
This No-Bake Peach Cream Delight is a perfect treat for those hot summer days or any time you want a delicious dessert without much fuss. The creamy texture and the burst of fresh peach flavor make it a delightful choice for any occasion!
