Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 2 cups sliced peaches
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning preparation.
- In a large mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by allowing it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and creating a smooth mixture.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture, until evenly combined.
- Drain any excess liquid from the sliced peaches to prevent the dessert from becoming watery.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the pre-made graham cracker crust, creating a smooth top surface.
- Arrange the sliced peaches decoratively on top of the cream cheese layer, covering the entire surface.
- Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and mixture to set.
- Before serving, let the dessert sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Cut into 8 equal slices and serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free mixture. This helps create a silky-soft texture that melts in your mouth.
- Whipping Technique: When folding in the whipped topping, use a gentle hand to maintain its light, airy consistency. Overmixing can deflate the mixture and result in a dense dessert.
- Peach Perfection: Drain your peaches thoroughly to prevent excess liquid from making your dessert soggy. Pat them dry with a paper towel if needed.
- Chilling is Key: Allow at least 2 hours of refrigeration to let the flavors meld and the dessert set properly. Patience will be rewarded with a more cohesive and delightful dessert.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the dessert sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly, making it easier to slice and enhancing its creamy texture.
