Aimee’s Recipe Notes
There’s something about these layered “delight” desserts that make you want to keep trying new flavors. They’re incredibly easy and so fun to experiment with.
So much easier than peach pie!
The graham cracker crust adds structure and a buttery crunch, while the cream cheese filling gives that smooth cheesecake texture.
The peach layer brings sweetness and a soft texture while the whipped cream keeps everything light.

Ingredients You Will Need
What I love about today’s Peach Delight is how simple it is make, and easy to swap ingredients. Scroll down to the recipe card below for a full list with measurements.
- Graham Cracker Crumbs– you’ll need about 13 full size graham crackers. You could also swap them out for gingersnaps or Golden Oreos!
- Cream Cheese– this is the base of the cheesecake filling. Be sure to use the full fat blocks, not the whipped cream cheese in a tub.
- Cool Whip- Adds a fluffy texture to the filling and a sweet, light finish to the topping. You can make your own homemade cool whip to keep it natural, or use whipped cream.
How to Make Peach Delight
Sometimes you’ll hear this style of dessert called a lasagna. Like my chocolate chip lasagna. It’s layered, and sweet, and so easy to make.
- Start by making the crust. I add a couple Tablespoons of brown sugar to the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs to add a little sweetness. Chill the crust while you make the cheesecake filling.
- You’ll want to start with room temperature softened cream cheese. Add in half of the Cool Whip and spread over the crust layer.
- Add the canned peach pie filling to the top of the cheesecake layer.
- Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle with the reserved crumbs.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- The dessert lasagna needs to be chilled for at least 6 hours so that it firms up enough for clean slices.
- Add a little lemon zest to the peach pie filling for a burst of flavor. Or mix in a teaspoon of cinnamon for a warmer flavor.
- This dessert can be made ahead 24 hours. Perfect for parties!
- Store peach delight covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze for up to 30 days in an airtight freezer safe container.

Ingredients
For the Crust
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese (2-8oz packages), softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 16 ounces Cool Whip, thawed, divided
- 2 cans (21 ounce each) Peach pie filling
Instructions
-
Grease a 13×9 baking dish with butter or shortening, or line with parchment paper. Set pan aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until all the crumbs are moistened. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the crust for the topping.
-
Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Freeze crust while you make the filling.
-
For the filling, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat for several minutes until smooth and creamy. Fold in 8 ounces of the whipped topping. Spread over the chilled crust.
-
Pour both cans of pie filling over the cheesecake layer and spread evenly. Then carefully spread the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle with reserved graham cracker crust crumbs.
-
Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 6 hours (or overnight).
Notes
- You’ll need about 13 graham crackers for the crust. Or you can buy store bought crumbs.
- Keep dessert covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Or freeze for up to 30 days.
- Fresh or canned peach slices (drained) can also be used for a slightly different take on the dessert.
