This peach delight recipe is a crowd pleasing favorite dessert. Made in a 9 x 13 baking dish, it’s layered with fresh peaches, whipped topping, and cream cheese.
We are fortunate to have a bountiful supply of the juiciest peaches every summer in South Carolina. You can find them along our streets at every produce stand and we use the season as an opportunity to add fresh peaches to all sorts of dinner ideas and desserts.
Peach Delight is by far my favorite way to enjoy fresh peaches. It’s a fabulous dessert that’s layered in a baking dish and loaded with goodness, and the perfect potluck dessert to serve at a summer picnic to feed a crowd.
Even though it does take a little more time for this one since you need to allow each layer to cool and set, it really isn’t difficult. And, as long as you can find some fresh peaches and peach jello, the other ingredients are probably already in your pantry or freezer.
Here’s how I like to make mine.
