A creamy and refreshing no-bake peach dessert layered with juicy fresh peaches, a light cream cheese filling, and a buttery cookie crust. This easy summer dessert requires no oven and is perfect for warm weather gatherings.
Ingredients
Crust
- 200 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- 5 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Filling
- 200 g cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup whipped cream
Topping
- 4 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- Fresh mint, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Crust: Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter and brown sugar until well combined.
- Form Crust Layer: Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of a serving dish or individual glasses to create an even crust layer.
- Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten the texture without deflating the cream.
- Assemble First Cream Layer: Spread or pipe a layer of the cream mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
- Add Peach Slices: Arrange a layer of thinly sliced peaches on top of the cream layer.
- Repeat Layers: If using a deeper dish, repeat the cream and peach layers as desired, finishing with a peach layer on top.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to chill and set properly.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with additional fresh peach slices and sprigs of mint for a fresh and attractive presentation.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
- Nectarines can be used as a delicious alternative to peaches.
- For individual portions, assemble the dessert in small glasses or jars.
- Store leftovers in a covered container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
