Description

This Peach Cheese Pie offers a delightful contrast between a rich, tangy cream cheese filling and the bright sweetness of canned peaches. The base is smooth and custard-like, baked until just set, while the topping features a glossy, almond-infused glaze that binds the fruit together. It is a no-bake style dessert assembly that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum comfort. Perfect for summer picnics, family dinners, or when you need a quick, elegant finish to a meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until incorporated.
  4. Add the 1/2 cup sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie shell.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are slightly golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the pie cools, drain the canned peaches, reserving exactly 1 cup of the liquid.
  9. In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup sugar to eliminate lumps.
  10. Gradually stir in the reserved 1 cup of peach juice, lemon juice, and almond extract.
  11. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens noticeably.
  12. Remove the glaze from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  13. Arrange the drained peach slices in a decorative circle pattern on top of the cooled pie filling.
  14. Spoon the warm peach glaze evenly over the arranged peaches.
  15. Place a maraschino cherry in the center or around the edge for garnish.
  16. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the topping is firm and the pie is thoroughly chilled.
