Ingredients Notes For “Summer Breeze” Peach Cool Whip Pie:

• Graham Cracker Crust: Use a pre-made crust for convenience or make your own for a homemade touch.

• Cool Whip: Provides the creamy, fluffy body of the pie. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: Adds sweetness and helps to thicken the filling.
• Lemon Juice: A touch of acidity to balance the sweetness and enhance the peach flavor.

Recipe Steps:

1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice the fresh peaches. If using canned peaches, drain them well.
2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, gently fold together the Cool Whip, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice until well combined. Carefully fold in the peach slices, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
3. Fill the Crust: Pour the peach filling into the graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.
4. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm, to allow the filling to set properly.
5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with reserved peach slices or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for added decoration.

Storage Options:

• Refrigerate: Store the pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed while fresh to maintain the texture of the peaches and the fluffiness of the Cool Whip.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• Graham cracker crumbs: 150g (about 1 1/2 cups) – for the base.
• Unsalted butter, melted: 75g (1/3 cup) – binds the crumbs.
• Granulated sugar: 3 tablespoons – sweetens the crust.

For the Filling:

• Cool Whip: 240ml (1 cup) – thawed, for a light and fluffy texture.
• Cream cheese: 225g (8 ounces) – softened, adds creaminess.
• Granulated sugar: 100g (1/2 cup) – for sweetness.
• Fresh peaches: 3-4 medium, peeled and sliced – for the peach layer. You can also use canned peaches, drained, if fresh peaches are not available.
• Peach gelatin (Jello): 85g (1 package) – enhances the peach flavor and helps set the filling.
• Boiling water: 120ml (1/2 cup) – to dissolve the gelatin.
• Cold water: 120ml (1/2 cup) – to cool down the gelatin mixture.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling to set the crust.
2. Make the Peach Gelatin Layer:
   • In a small bowl, dissolve the peach gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Allow it to cool to room temperature but not set.
3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
   • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
   • Fold in half of the Cool Whip until well combined. Spread this mixture over the chilled crust.
4. Assemble the Pie:
   • Arrange the sliced peaches over the cream cheese layer.
   • Gently pour the cooled gelatin over the peaches, ensuring it spreads evenly.
   • Refrigerate the pie until the gelatin layer is set, about 2-3 hours.
5. Finish with Cool Whip:
   • Once the gelatin layer is set, spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top of the pie.
6. Chill and Serve:
   • Chill the pie for an additional hour or until ready to serve. This will make it easier to slice.
   • Optionally, garnish with extra peach slices or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs before serving.
