No Bake Peaches and Cream Dream Bars

I added a secret ingredient to make the Creamiest Peaches and Cream Bars! I guarantee you’ll be making them all summer!

These no bake peaches and cream bars are everything I want in a summer dessert. A buttery graham cracker crust is layered with fluffy cream cheese filling and juicy peaches, then fridge-baked until perfect.

The inspiration for this recipe came from a conversation with my friend Sarah. She was telling me about a fresh peach dessert her family has loved for years, but there wasn’t a written recipe—just memories of layers of peaches and cream. I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

So I gave it an Oh Sweet Basil twist by borrowing the creamy filling from our favorite Berries and Cream Bars and pairing it with a simple graham cracker crust. After a little experimenting (and discovering that chopped peaches work much better than sliced!), these no bake peaches and cream bars were born. I think they just might become one of your favorite summer desserts too!

Ingredients For Fruit Pizza

You only need a handful of simple ingredients to pull this fruit pizza together. The cookie crust relies on pantry staples, the cream cheese frosting uses just three ingredients, and the fruit topping is entirely customizable. Here is everything you will need:

Sugar Cookie Crust

  • Unsalted Butter: Creamed with sugar to form the rich, tender base of the cookie crust.
  •  Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the dough and helps create those slightly crisp edges on the baked cookie.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm, classic flavor that complements the cream cheese frosting.

  • Egg: Binds the dough together and contributes to the soft, chewy texture. 
  • All-Purpose Flour: The main structure of the cookie crust.
  • Baking Powder: Gives the cookie a gentle lift so it bakes up thick rather than flat.

  • Cream of Tartar: Helps stabilize the dough and contributes to the signature tang of a classic sugar cookie.
  • Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances all the other flavors in the crust.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Cream Cheese: The tangy, creamy base of the frosting that keeps it from tasting overly sweet. 
  • Unsalted Butter: Beaten with the cream cheese for an extra smooth and spreadable consistency.
  • Powdered Sugar: Sweetens and thickens the frosting to the perfect spreadable texture.

Fresh Fruit Topping
