Peaches and Cream Pie Classic (Print)

Creamy peach dessert with buttery crust and cinnamon sugar, chilled to perfection for any sweet craving.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 125 g all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1 package (96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
04 - 60 g unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 large egg

→ Cream Layer

06 - 225 g cream cheese, softened
07 - 100 g granulated sugar
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Peach Topping

10 - 425 g canned sliced peaches, drained and patted dry
11 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar mixed with 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a 23 cm pie dish.
02 - Combine flour, baking powder, and vanilla pudding mix in a medium bowl. Add softened butter and egg, mixing until a thick dough forms. Evenly press dough into the base and slightly up the sides of the prepared pie dish.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Incorporate sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, then blend until the mixture is creamy and uniform. Spread evenly over the prepared crust.
04 - Arrange sliced peaches over the cream filling in a circular pattern. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar mixture.
05 - Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and edges are golden. Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.

# Notes:

01 - Both canned and fresh peaches can be used; if using fresh, peel and slice before arranging.
02 - For precise slicing, ensure the dessert is fully chilled before cutting.
03 - Once the center appears slightly jiggly but not liquid, remove from the oven to avoid overbaking.
04 - A few drops of almond extract can be added to the cream cheese mixture for added flavor.
