Easy No-Bake Fresh Peach Dessert
A creamy peach dessert with a graham cracker crust filled with ripe peaches and topped with sweetened condensed milk and Homemade Whipping Cream. With peach season in full swing, this Easy Fresh Peach Dessert is perfect for enjoying the summertime fruit. It is fun to make and a super simple way to use fresh peaches without turning on the oven.
I first saw this dessert on Instagram in pie form. I thought it would work really well as a 9×13 dessert, so I adapted the recipe to fit in a 9×13 baking dish. Adding ground cinnamon to the graham cracker crust enhanced the flavor of the peaches. It turned out delicious, and everyone who tried it liked it.
When serving, the chunky peach layer makes it difficult to cut into neat squares, but don’t let that stop you. It’s awesome scooped out onto a plate like a crisp or cobbler. For a peach dessert that cuts into nice square pieces, try my No-Bake Peach Cheesecake or Fresh Peach No-Bake Dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions about How to Make Easy Fresh Peach Dessert
Does the crust need to be baked before adding the other layers?
No, it does not. This is an all-no-bake recipe.
How many whole graham crackers make 2 cups of crumbs?
Approximately 12 whole graham crackers. If you have two premade graham cracker crusts, you can use those in place of making your own.
I don’t have a food processor. What’s the best way to make the graham cracker crust?
Place graham crackers in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and crush/roll the crackers until they are tiny crumbs. You want the size to be as consistent as possible. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a medium-sized mixing bowl until incorporated. Next, add the melted butter and mix until completely combined.
Can I use Cool Whip in place of the Homemade Whipping Cream?
Yes, but I recommend homemade whipping cream for the best flavor. If you choose to use Cool Whip, you will need 1 (8-ounce) tub of Cool Whip.
Do you recommend adding cinnamon and/or nutmeg to the whipped cream?
If you really love the way ground cinnamon and/or nutmeg enhances the flavor of peaches, you can add up to 1/2 to 1 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/8 to 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg to the whipped cream. In the alternative, you can sprinkle cinnamon and/or nutmeg on top when serving.
How far in advance can I make it?
You can separately prepare the crust, the sweetened condensed milk mixture, and whipped cream, and store them covered in the refrigerator the day before. However, I do not recommend peeling and slicing the peaches ahead of time because they will turn brown. Peel and slice the peaches when you are ready to put the dessert together.
