Peaches & Cream Pie
Description
This classic Peaches & Cream Pie offers a delightful balance of sweet fruit and rich custard. Ripe peaches are arranged in a pie shell and topped with a smooth mixture of cream, eggs, and a hint of almond extract. As it bakes, the filling sets into a tender, pudding-like consistency while the peaches soften and release their natural juices. The result is a dessert that is both comforting and elegant, perfect for summer gatherings or a special weekend treat. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or cold as a refreshing slice of nostalgia.Ingredients
