3 medium peaches, chopped into small pieces

Juice of 1/2 lemon

3/4 c. granulated sugar, divided

8 graham crackers

1 1/2 c. small pretzels

2  – 8 oz packages of cream cheese, softened

1/4 c. whole fat plain Greek yogurt

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Topping

2 medium peaches, thinly sliced

2 Tablespoons honey

Directions

In a small pot over medium heat, cook the peaches, lemon juice and 2 Tablespoons of sugar until the peaches start to breakdown and the liquid is syrupy.  Let cool

While the peaches are cooling, place the graham crackers and pretzels into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed.  Add the cinnamon and salt and mix again. Lastly add 2 Tablespoons of sugar and stir until combined.  Add the melted butter and mix thoroughly. Press this mixture into a 9 inch pie plate and refrigerate for 1 hour

Using an electric mixer on medium high speed, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.  Transfer to a large bowl.  In the bowl that the cream was whipped, now add cream cheese and yogurt and mix until smooth.  Add 1/2 c. sugar and vanilla.  Beat until combined.

Fold in the whipped cream and gently fold in the cooked peaches.

Pour the filling into the prepared crust, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.

When ready to serve, slice the two peaches and toss and coat with the honey.  Spoon the peaches over the pie and slice and serve.

This is super easy and is a perfect no bake, make ahead, summer dessert!

Enjoy!!

Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler

PEACH COBBLER

Ingredients:

5 peaches , peeled, cored and sliced (about 4 cups)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

For the Cobbler batter:

6 Tablespoons of unsalted butter

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS:

  • Add the sliced peaches, sugar and salt to a saucepan  – Cook on medium heat for just a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice butter into pieces and arrange them on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven.
  •   In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined. Pour the mixture into the pan, over the melted butter and smooth it into an even layer. 
  • Pour the peaches over the top of the batter.  Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the top of the peaches.
  • Bake at 350 for approximately 40 minutes until golden brown.

I think cobbler tastes best when it is served warm and with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream on top.

Enjoy!
