Crust
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
Filling
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 (15 oz) can sliced peaches, drained and chopped
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed
Garnish
- Reserved peach slices
- Light sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs
- Mix the Pudding: Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk together in a bowl for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Allow it to stand for a few minutes to set properly.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold half of the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture, blending carefully to create a smooth and airy consistency without deflating the whipped topping.
- Add the Peaches: Stir in the drained and chopped canned peaches into the creamy mixture, reserving some peach slices for garnish later.
- Fill the Crust: Evenly spread the peach and pudding mixture into the graham cracker crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula for an even, neat appearance.
- Chill: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight until the filling is firm and set.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top the pie with the remaining whipped topping. Garnish with the reserved peach slices and a light sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for added texture and presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed before folding to achieve the right texture.
- Chilling the pie overnight improves firmness and flavor melding.
- You can substitute fresh peaches during peach season for a fresher taste.
- Use a low-fat graham cracker crust to reduce calories if desired.
- If you prefer, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the pudding mixture for extra flavor.
