3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Delicious No-Bake Peaches and Cream

Prepare the Peaches

Start by washing and slicing the ripe peaches into thin, even pieces. Set aside a few slices for garnish if desired.

Make the Cream Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined. Fold in the whipped heavy cream gently to keep the mixture light and fluffy.

Assemble the Dessert

Layer the crushed graham crackers at the bottom of a serving dish or individual cups. Spoon a layer of the cream mixture over the crackers, followed by a layer of sliced peaches. Repeat these layers until you’ve filled your container, ending with a topping of peaches and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for texture.

Chill and Serve

Cover the assembled dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set. For an extra chill, consider using the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to cool your dessert quickly before serving.

4. Tips for Perfect No-Bake Peaches and Cream

  • Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Chill all your ingredients beforehand to keep everything cold and fluffy.
  • If you prefer a tangy twist, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the peaches before layering.

5. Storage Tips for Leftover Peaches and Cream

Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness. This easy peach dessert is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be refrigerated in an airtight container to maintain its creamy texture and fresh flavor.

6. Serving Suggestions for a Crowd

Serve your no-bake peaches and cream in individual dessert cups or a large trifle dish. Garnish with additional fresh peaches, mint leaves, or a dusting of cinnamon to enhance presentation. Pair this dessert with a crisp white wine or iced tea for a complete summer celebration.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes, it can be assembled a day in advance and kept refrigerated. Just add the fresh peach slices just before serving to prevent browning.
