Marsha's No-Bake Peaches and Cream Sensation

 We had this for dessert last night and everyone really liked it. The original recipe is from Mel's Kitchen Cafe, but our store was out of heavy whipping cream for some reason, so I used a premade tub of whipped cream and changed things up a bit. It made this recipe even more simple. Also, this recipe would be really easy to adapt for a different filling if peaches are not your thing. You could use fresh fruit, pie filling, pudding, or even jam and have a yummy treat.

Marsha's No-Bake Peaches and Cream Sensation

3 cups (280 g) graham cracker crumbs

2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar

¾ cup (170 g) butter, melted

1 ½ cups (171 g) powdered sugar

8 ounces (227 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large tub whipped cream

3 small cans sliced peaches, or 1 large can (approximately 4-6 cups)

• In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Remove 1/3 cup of the crumbs and set aside for later.
• Press the remaining crumb mixture on the bottom of a 9X13-inch pan. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the rest of the dessert.
• In a large bowl using an electric handheld mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, mix the powdered sugar and cream cheese together until light and smooth, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the vanilla. Gently stir in 1/2 the tub of whipped cream into mixture.
• Spread the other half of the tub of whipped cream over the chilled crust. Layer the sliced peaches over the top of the cream.
• Dollop the cream cheese mixtures over the top of the peaches in large spoonfuls and spread carefully to the edges of the pan cover the peaches completely. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker mixture over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours before serving.

Notes: This recipe calls for plain peaches, which is a really fresh tasting option for this filling. If you prefer something a little more decadent, you can use peach pie filling instead to have the extra spices and sugar in the fruit. If peaches aren't your thing, you can also use any kind of fruit, pudding, pie filling, or jam that you like. The other components of this dessert and pretty universal and would work well with just about anything.
