Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Peaches: Start by washing and peeling about 4-5 medium peaches. Slice them thinly and set aside while you prepare the rest of your ingredients.
Mix the Creamy Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until smooth with an electric mixer—your arm should feel like it’s been to the gym!
Add Flavor: Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and mix until combined. Taste it—you might want to sneak a spoonful (I won’t tell!).
Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until everything is beautifully blended together. We want it light and fluffy!
Combine Peaches with Filling: Carefully stir in your sliced peaches into the creamy mixture until they are well-coated. Don’t be shy! Get all that goodness mixed in.
Assemble Your Masterpiece: In a large serving bowl or individual cups, layer graham cracker crumbs followed by the peach mixture. Repeat until you’ve used everything up—like playing Tetris but way more delicious!
