What you will need to make this dessert:

Pecan meal: Pecan meal is used as a crust for the dessert. Its nutty flavor and crunchy texture can add depth and contrast to the soft and creamy components of the dessert.

Brown sugar: Brown sugar adds sweetness and a subtle caramel flavor to the crust.

Butter: Butter is used in the crust to help the pecan meal form a delicate, and buttery shape to hold the dessert.

Peaches: Peaches are the star of the Peaches ‘n Cream dessert. They provide natural sweetness, juiciness, and a delicious fruity flavor that balances well with the creamy components.

Sugar: Additional sugar is used to sweeten the peach filling and the cream cheese layer.

Rosé wine: Rosé wine is used to macerate the peaches or add flavor to the peach filling. The wine’s fruity and floral notes can complement the peaches and add a subtle complexity to the dessert.

Unflavored gelatin: Gelatin is used as a thickening agent help the fresh or frozen peaches set up. This is a key component.

Cream Cheese: Cream cheese is a primary component of the “cream” in the Peaches ‘n Cream dessert. It provides a smooth, tangy, and creamy texture that pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the peaches.

Heavy cream: Heavy cream is another key ingredient for creating the creamy element of the dessert. When whipped, it adds a light and fluffy texture to the cream layer.

Powdered sugar: Powdered sugar is used to sweeten and stabilize the whipped cream layer, giving it a smooth and silky texture.

These ingredients work together to create a delightful Peaches ‘n Cream dessert with a combination of creamy, fruity, and nutty flavors and a mixture of soft and crunchy textures.

Equipment

Ingredients for cream filling:

  • 32 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Ingredients for topping:

Instructions

Instructions for making cooked peaches for filling:

  • Add 2 pounds peeled and sliced fresh or frozen peaches to pan. Add sugar and rosé wine. Allow peaches to cook on low for about 30 minutes, or until softened, and breaking down. Mix cold water and gelatin in bowl, and stir into peach mixture.
    2 lbs. fresh or frozen peaches, 1/3 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons rośe wine, 1 envelope Unflavored gelatin, 2 tablespoons water
  • Cool peach mixture by placing in bowl and place in fridge to cool, and set up.

Instructions for making gluten-free pecan crust:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
  • Mix pecan meal, melted butter and brown sugar in the pan you will be making this dessert in. I chose a large oval pan, but you can use a 13X9 pan. Press crust into bottom of pan and up the sides to form a crust that goes almost to the edges of the serving pan.
    3 cups pecan meal, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1 stick butter
  • Bake pecan crust for 18 minutes, turning half way. Pecan crust can easily burn, due to the oil content, so please watch closely, as ovens vary.
  • Allow crust to cool, while you make the filling.

Instructions for making peaches n cream filling:

  • Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Beat cream cheese till light and fluffy, with no lumps. Add sugar, and continue to beat.
    32 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar
  • Now it is time to combine the peach mixture with the cream cheese. Using a spatula, fold in the peach mixture, and stir to get mixture thoroughly blended. Sit this mixture back in fridge while you prepare the whipped cream.

Instructions for whipping cream:

  • It is important to use a clean, oil free bowl that has been chilled to whip your cream. You can use a stand or a hand mixture. Pour the 2 cups of heavy cream into bowl and beat on high till cream starts to expand. Now add the powder sugar, and continue to beat till stiff peaks. Do not over-beat.
    2 cups heavy cream, ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions to assemble the Peaches N Cream dessert:

  • Being very gently, fold in the whipped cream to the cream cheese and peach mixture. Add this mixture to the cooled pecan meal crust, mounding softly. This dessert will need to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.  Once dessert has set up, you can add prepared peach topping if you are planning to serve that day.  If you are not serving till the next day, wait to add peaches before serving, so they do not dis-color.

Instructions for preparing peaches for topping:

  • Slice a few peaches, and splash with a little lemon juice and a tablespoon of sugar. Let set for a few minutes before arranging on top of dessert. You can also use frozen peaches, but allow them to thaw. Note, if not serving dessert till next day, wait to do this step before serving. If you do it the day before the peaches will discolor.
