The Peaches and Cream Pie Delight was created by our test kitchen team in 2017. We were looking for a summer dessert that was both light and refreshing, but still satisfying. We experimented with different combinations of fruits, crusts, and fillings, and finally settled on this recipe. We think it's the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the cornstarch topping gives it a unique and delicious texture.

Why It Works
  • The graham cracker crust is the perfect base for this pie. It's sturdy enough to hold the filling, but it's also light and flaky so it doesn't overpower the delicate flavors of the filling.
  • The coconut cream filling is made with full-fat coconut cream, which gives it a rich and creamy texture. The maple syrup and vanilla extract add sweetness and flavor, and the cornstarch thickens the filling so it's not too runny.
  • The sliced peaches add a bright and fresh flavor to the pie. They're also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
  • The cornstarch topping gives the pie a beautiful golden brown color and a slightly crunchy texture. It also helps to prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
