Who doesn’t like Peaches and Cream? Here’s a great way to enjoy this yummy combination in a fabulous pie with our all butter pie crust!
My friend Lisa brought me the most delicious, can’t-stop-eating-this-pie and my life has never been the same. Why haven’t I ever had a simple peaches and cream pie? IT’S SO GOOD! I think the secret is absolutely in the peaches. I know, you thought it would be the cream. But that’s just creamy and wonderful, it’s the peaches that can ruin everything and these peaches are really sweet and perfect!
Lisa is one of those friends that you love instantly because she’s so real, and love forever because she’s loyal. I adore that, and I adore that no matter if I’m a hot mess or totally on my game she’s not only there, she won’t even notice. I want to be more like that.
Back to peaches and cream though…we are obsessed with the combo! Check out our peaches and cream muffins, peaches and cream crumble bars and peaches and cream overnight oatmeal. Everything about peaches with cream is just perfection!

Before You Begin…
You want to start by making the pie crust, blind baking it and letting it cool completely. If you don’t want to make your own crust, you can grab a store bought crust and bake it according to the instructions on the package.
Ingredients for Peaches and Cream Pie
- Pie Crust: You will need flour, unsalted butter, salt, sugar and ice water to make the pie crust.
- Cream Cheese: I highly recommend using full fat cream cheese. The texture just turns out better.
- Powdered Sugar: Sweetens up the cream layer and balances out the tang of the cream cheese.
- Heavy Cream: Whipping up the cream gives body, fluffiness and creaminess to the cream layer.
- Vanilla: Adds flavor
- Yellow Peaches: You want freestone peaches, like Early Elberta, that are ripe. Remove the pits and slice them. Peeling is optional.
- Sugar: Helps balance the tartness of the peaches. If your peaches seems super sweet, then you can reduce the sugar a little.
- Ultra Gel: Helps thicken the saucy peach layer.
- Water: Helps create a thick syrupy peach layer for the top of the pie.
