A quick and easy no-bake peach icebox pie featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy whipped cream and cream cheese filling, topped with fresh peach slices. Perfect for summer gatherings and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full crackers, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 34 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons peach preserves or jam (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or sealed bag and rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until mixture feels like wet sand.
  3. Press crust mixture evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish, about 1/2-inch thick. Compact firmly using bottom of a glass or fingers.
  4. Chill crust in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
  6. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  7. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  8. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture in three additions using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  9. Pour creamy filling into chilled crust and smooth the top.
  10. Arrange sliced peaches over the filling in a single decorative layer.
  11. If desired, warm peach preserves slightly and brush over peach slices for shine.
  12. Cover pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  13. When ready to serve, slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Use chilled heavy cream for best whipping results. Soften cream cheese to room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not overwhip cream to prevent grainy texture. Chill pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best sliceability. Peeling peaches can be eased by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunging into ice water.
