Keep reading to see how I tackled it, how it turned out, and how to adapt it for your own taste preferences.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-to-make-the-reddit-famous-peaches-and-cream-pie-recipe\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block allrecipes-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How To Make the Reddit-Famous Peaches and Cream Pie Recipe <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I couldn\u2019t wait to make this &#8220;peaches and cream pie,&#8221; so I gathered my ingredients and got started on the crust. First, I preheated the oven to 375 degrees F. In a bowl, I combined 18 squares&#8217; worth of crushed graham crackers (about 2 cups), 1\/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Then I pressed that mixture into a prepared 9-inch pie pan and baked it for 6 minutes.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Next, I added 2 ounces of room temperature cream cheese and 1\/2 cup of powdered sugar to a bowl and beat them together with an electric hand whisk. I folded in 1\/2 cup of Cool Whip and spread the mixture evenly into the cooled graham cracker pie crust.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> For the topping, I added one (3-ounce) package of peach Jell-O powder, one (3-ounce) package of vanilla pudding powder, and 1 1\/4 cups of water to a saucepan on medium heat. I whisked the mixture until smooth, then cooked it for about 6 minutes until it nearly reached a boil. Then, I let it cool to room temperature.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Meanwhile, I sliced 2 cups-worth of fresh peaches and arranged them in a radial pattern over the creamy layer. Then I poured the peach Jell-O mixture on top. Finally, I popped the pie in the fridge for 4 hours to help it set before enjoying.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-to-make-this-peaches-and-cream-pie-your-own\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block allrecipes-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How To Make This Peaches and Cream Pie Your Own <\/span> <\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block allrecipes-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme figure-landscape figure-high-res\"><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"> <span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Ashia Aubourg<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_26-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> When I pulled this pie out of the fridge, I couldn\u2019t believe how beautiful it looked. Those translucent orange hues practically glowed, and slicing into it revealed gorgeous layers of graham cracker crust, creamy filling, and the fruity topping, all stacked perfectly. I worried it might be too sweet, but it struck a near-perfect balance: fruity and light, not cloying at all. It felt like eating peach cheesecake without all the fuss. If you decide to make it in your kitchen, below are some variations you can try:\n<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li><strong>Swap in a different Jell-O. <\/strong>This recipe relies on peach-flavored Jell-O, but the brand offers nearly countless other flavors. Try strawberry, apricot, or raspberry\u2014they\u2019d all work wonderfully here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try a special cookie crust.<\/strong> Swap the graham crackers for Biscoff, vanilla Oreos, or shortbread cookies if you want to tinker with the base of this pie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decorate it with exciting garnishes. <\/strong>The pie already shines on its own, but you can really make it pop by piping homemade whipped cream around the rim or sprinkling edible pearls around the edges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block allrecipes-sc-block-spotlight--1-2-post mntl-sc-block-universal-spotlight--1-2-post mntl-sc-block-universal-spotlight mntl-block theme-1-2-post\">\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block-universal-spotlight__heading_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-universal-spotlight__heading mntl-text-block\">Similar Recipes to Try<\/h3>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-universal-spotlight__articles_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-universal-spotlight__articles mntl-document-spotlight mntl-document-card-list mntl-card-list mntl-block\" data-chunk=\"36\">\n<div class=\"card__content \" data-tag=\"Peach Pie Recipes\">\n<p><span class=\"card__title\"><span class=\"card__title-text text-title-100-moderate\">Award-Winning Peaches and Cream Pie<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reddit\u2019s &#8220;Old Recipes&#8221; thread is one of the best-kept secrets for discovering vintage and nostalgic culinary gems.
