Peaches and Cream Pie
What do you get when you combine a layer of juicy peach slices with a deliciously sweet cream cheese pie filling and whipped topping? My perfect peaches and cream pie recipe!
Ah, summer, a.k.a prime peach season! If you have too many fresh peaches on your hands this summer and don’t know what to do with them, I definitely recommend transforming them into this easy peaches and cream pie recipe.
There’s a lot to love about this peach pie. Firstly, besides the fresh peaches and cream cheese, you probably have the rest of the ingredients at home right now: sugar, cornstarch, an egg, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Secondly, it’s really easy to make. We use an unbaked pie shell so there’s no pre-baking needed. Then we start with a layer of fresh peaches before mixing the dry ingredients, the wet ingredients, and the wet and dry together. All that’s left to do is bake the pie for an hour and add the whipped topping once it’s cooled.
I just know you’re going to love the combination of the flaky pie crust, creamy cinnamon-spiced pie filling, juicy peaches, and refreshing whipped cream. This is a lovely light dessert that’s perfect for your next summer gathering. Here are some more summer pie recipes I love as well. Alright, who’s ready to bake a delicious peaches and cream pie?
Recipe Ingredients
- Fresh peaches
- Granulated sugar
- Cornstarch
- Lemon juice
- Egg
- Cream cheese
- Cinnamon
- Almond extract or vanilla extract
- Unbaked pie crust
- Topping: Cool Whip or our homemade whipped cream with evaporated milk
How to Make Peaches and Cream Pie
Preheat the oven to 350.
Put the sliced peaches in the unbaked pie shell.
Mix together the cornstarch, sugar, and cinnamon (the dry ingredients) in a small bowl.
In another bowl, beat the egg, cream cheese, lemon juice, and almond or vanilla extract.
In the wet ingredients, add half of the dry ingredients and mix.
Then add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix well.
Add this on top of the sliced peaches.
Spread it to the edges to ensure the pie filling covers the entire pie shell.
Bake in your preheated oven for one hour.
Now we have to patiently wait for our peaches and cream pie to cool on a wire rack before…
We add the Cool Whip or our homemade whipped cream.
You can eat it straight away or chill it some more.
Either way, it’s delicious! Add a sliced peach garnish and enjoy!
Storage
Store leftover pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Because of the whipped topping, I don’t recommend freezing the pie.
Recipe Notes
- Go ahead and use your favorite pie crust, whether that’s a store-bought pie shell, a homemade pie crust, or a graham cracker crust.
- If you want to add more flavor to your cream cheese filling, add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg as well. It’s the perfect complement to the cinnamon.
Recipe FAQs
Can I use canned peaches or frozen peaches?
In a pinch, you can definitely use canned peaches or frozen peaches. You’ll need about 3 cups. Just ensure they’re thawed and well-drained.

If you freeze, do you cook it first?
thanks, following Larks blog!
This pie is delicious!!! I made it yesterday and it was a hit with my husband. I used a normal pie pan, not deep dish, and nothing spilled out. A very easy recipe that I will make again!
Glad to have you visit Lark and thanks for the recipe! Have you made it without the cinnamon? Thanks!
Coe, you can leave out the cinnamon, even sub for another one of your favorite spice’s if you would like. Nutmeg is great with peaches too.
