For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crust. If fresh peaches aren't available, you can use frozen or canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well. Garnish with extra chopped pecans or fresh peach slices before serving for an elegant touch.
Indulge in the timeless allure of our Peaches and Cream Pie, a symphony of sweet, juicy peaches embraced by a cloud of creamy indulgence. A buttery, pecan-studded crust cradles layers of tangy cream cheese filling and luscious peach gelatin, all crowned with a generous swirl of whipped topping. Each bite is a celebration of summer's bounty, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. (5 minutes)
In a large bowl, combine flour, softened butter, chopped pecans, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. (10 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. (30 minutes cooling time)
In another large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and confectioners' sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 2 cups of thawed whipped topping. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust. (10 minutes)
In a large saucepan, whisk together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in warm water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes clear and thick. Remove from heat and stir in the peach flavored gelatin mix until dissolved. (15 minutes)
Gently fold the sliced peaches into the gelatin mixture. Carefully spread the peach mixture over the cream cheese layer. (5 minutes)
Top with the remaining 12 ounce container of thawed whipped topping, creating swirls or desired design. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pie to set. (60 minutes refrigeration)
