Equipment

  • (1) 9-inch pie dish

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • ¾ cup pecans, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  • 4 ounces whipped topping
Topping
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (corn flour)
  • 2 tablespoons peach gelatin
  • ½ cup water

Instructions
 

Instructions for Crust
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Chop nuts until very fine. Add chopped pecans, flour, and sugar to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Add the melted butter and combine until well-mixed. Place in a 9-inch pie dish and tamp down to cover the bottom and a little up the sides.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
Instructions for Filling
  • Mix the cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl until well combined. Add the whipped topping and gently stir until incorporated. Add this mixture to the cooled crust and refrigerate for an hour.
Topping
  • Mix the sugar, cornstarch, and gelatin in a small saucepan, stirring until well-combined. Add the water and mix well. Heat on medium until the dry ingredients are dissolved and the mixture becomes clear. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
  • While the Jell-O mixture cools, slice peaches and arrange on top of the chilled cream cheese mixture. Stir and then pour the cooled topping mixture over the peaches. Let the pie chill for a couple of hours until the top layer sets. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Peach Gelatin

Jell-O brand gelatin was used in this recipe.
If the gelatin topping becomes too stiff to pour over the pie, add a small amount of water and whisk until the mixture is pourable.

A Recipe Shortcut

Use a purchased and prepared shortbread crust.  Sprinkle 1/3 cup of finely chopped pecans in the bottom of the crust before you add the filling.
