A simple, crowd-pleasing no-bake peach cream pie with a spicy gingersnap crust and a luscious creamy filling, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups gingersnap cookies, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 3 large fresh ripe peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional toppings: extra peach slices, gingersnap crumbs, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Crush 1 ½ cups of gingersnap cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand (about 2 minutes).
  2. Mix the crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar until evenly combined.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Compact the crust using the back of a spoon or bottom of a glass.
  4. Chill the crust in the fridge for about 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
  5. Peel and thinly slice 3 large ripe peaches. Toss them gently with 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (3–4 minutes).
  7. In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup cold heavy cream until soft peaks form (3–5 minutes).
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, keeping the mixture airy.
  9. Spread half of the peach slices evenly over the chilled gingersnap crust.
  10. Spoon half the cream filling over the peaches and smooth gently.
  11. Repeat layers with remaining peaches and cream filling. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  12. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  13. Before serving, garnish with extra peach slices, crushed gingersnaps, and fresh mint leaves if desired.
  14. Slice with a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold to maintain fluffy texture. Avoid overwhipping cream to prevent graininess. Chill pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Use fresh ripe peaches for optimal flavor. Can substitute with canned peaches if drained well. For gluten-free, use gluten-free gingersnaps. For dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream.
