This No-Bake Peach Cream Dessert is a cool and creamy layered dessert made with a buttery graham cracker crust, fluffy cream cheese filling, sweet peaches, and a glossy peach topping.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup salted butter melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 2 cans sliced peaches in juice or light syrup 15 ounces each, drained well
- 1 package peach gelatin 3 ounces
- ¾ cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup whipped topping optional garnish
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs optional garnish

Instructions
- Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
- Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Chill for 20 to 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
- Arrange the drained peach slices over the cream layer.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the peach gelatin with boiling water until fully dissolved.
- Stir in the cold water and lemon juice.
- Let the gelatin mixture cool for 15 to 20 minutes, until slightly thickened but still pourable.
- Slowly pour or spoon the gelatin mixture over the peaches.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least six hours, or overnight.
- Garnish with whipped topping, graham cracker crumbs, and extra peach slices if desired.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Drain the peaches very well before adding them to the dessert.
- Do not pour hot gelatin over the cream layer.
- For the cleanest slices, chill the dessert overnight.
- Fresh peaches can be used in place of canned peaches. Use about 3 cups of peeled, sliced peaches.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
