Easy Creamy Peach Jello Pie
A vintage-inspired Creamy Peach Jello Pie that combines a silky cream cheese bottom layer with a vibrant peach-vanilla glaze. Perfect for potlucks and summer BBQs!
Ingredients
1 9-inch graham cracker crust (homemade or store-bought)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup Cool Whip, thawed
1 (3 oz) package peach gelatin (Jell-O)
1 (3 oz) package cook and serve vanilla pudding (NOT instant)
1 1/4 cups water
1 (29 oz) can sliced peaches, thoroughly drained (approx. 2 cups)
Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until completely smooth and fluffy.
2. Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly across the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
3. In a small saucepan, whisk together the peach gelatin, cook and serve vanilla pudding powder, and 1 1/4 cups of water until no lumps remain.
4. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture just begins to come to a boil. Once it boils, remove from heat and let it cool for exactly 5 minutes.
5. While the glaze cools, arrange the drained peach slices in an even layer (or decorative spiral) over the cream cheese base.
6. Carefully spoon or pour the slightly cooled gelatin/pudding mixture over the peaches, ensuring they are all coated. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until completely set and chilled.
Notes
Ensure you use ‘Cook and Serve’ pudding, not instant, or the glaze will not set properly.
Drain the peaches very well to prevent the pie from becoming watery.
Serve with an extra dollop of whipped cream on top!
