During the summer months, when peaches are in season, you can use fresh peaches in this easy no-bake peach pie. You could also substitute thawed frozen peaches for the canned peaches if you prefer.
If your pie crust is in a foil tin, we’d recommend sitting it (foil pan and all) inside a glass pie plate to give it a bit more stability when taking it in and out of the fridge. You can also substitute a homemade graham cracker crust for the premade crust, or even a traditional pastry crust if you prefer.
This creamy peach pie needs to chill in the fridge for about 4 hours before it is ready to serve. This is a great recipe to make the day before so that it is ready when you need it.
How to Make Peach Cool Whip Pie
FIRST STEP: Using a medium-sized heat-safe mixing bowl, add the instant peach gelatin. Pour the boiling water over the gelatin and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
SECOND STEP: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the ½ cup of cold water. Allow the gelatin to dissolve and “bloom”.
THIRD STEP: Pour the bloomed gelatin into the dissolved peach gelatin mixture and combine thoroughly.
FOURTH STEP: Fold in 2 cups of thawed Cool Whip and the chopped peaches.
FIFTH STEP: Evenly spread the peach Cool Whip mixture into the premade crust. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.
SIXTH STEP: Slice the pie into eight slices. Before serving, garnish with the reserved Cool Whip and a slice of peach for each piece.
What does it mean to allow the gelatin to “bloom”?
Blooming gelatin means allowing it to sit for 3-5 minutes until it has absorbed the liquid and the powdered granules have dissolved. The granules will swell as it blooms.
Can I use a different flavor of jello?
This cream pie recipe is very flexible. You can change up the flavor of the pie depending on the flavor of jello you use.
Can I make my own graham cracker crust for this recipe?
If you prefer to make your own crust for this no-bake peach cream pie, you certainly can.
How to Store Peach Cool Whip Pie
IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftovers of this easy peach pie recipe covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend freezing this Cool Whip peach pie. When the pie thaws, it will cause the bottom of the pie to become soggy.
