Ingredients for this Fresh Peach Dessert Recipe
Graham Crust:
- 16 whole graham crackers, crushed
- ¾ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup white sugar
Filling:
- 4 ½ cups miniature marshmallows
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 pint heavy cream
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 6 large fresh peaches – peeled, pitted, and sliced
Directions
- Make the Graham Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and white sugar. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the marshmallows and milk. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the cream too much. Once fully combined, refrigerate the mixture for about 15-20 minutes to set.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- Once the graham crust has cooled and the filling is set, spread the marshmallow-cream mixture evenly over the crust.
- Arrange the fresh peach slices on top of the filling in a decorative pattern.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to let it fully set and allow the flavors to meld.
- Once chilled, slice and serve!
