Peach Chiffon Pie is cool, smooth and creamy, that’s my kind of Summer dessert.
With all this heat and humidity I just can’t seem to get myself into a BAKING mode. That’ll happen when the weather breaks around here. Until then, my mind and taste buds are craving cold, sweet and smooth desserts! This amazing creamy peach pie fits the bill. Let’s gather the ingredients and make this delicious pie recipe together.
Peach Chiffon Pie Ingredients:
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 Tablespoons butter, room temperature
For The Filling:
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups peach puree from 6 – 7 fresh peeled and pitted peaches
- 1 Teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 drops red food coloring
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
The first step in the recipe is to make the graham cracker crust. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees while we make the graham cracker crust. In a nine-inch, deep-dish pie pan, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. With a large spoon or stiff spatula, press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. Bake the crust for ten minutes. remove it from the oven to a wire rack to cool while we make the peach chiffon filling. You can make the crust earlier in the day if you like to make sure that it’s first of all done and waiting for you while you make the filling and second, you don’t have to wait for it to cool down when you’re ready to put the filling in the crust.
The next step in the recipe is making the peach filling. We’re going to use 6 to 7 ripe. peeled and pitted fresh peaches to make the filling. Just peel ,pit and slice the peaches, put the peach slices into a food processor until you get 2 cups of puree. Mix the puree, lemon juice, and red food colouring together.
-
Baker’s Note: The lemon juice helps the peach puree from turning dark. The touch of red food colouring should give the puree just a blush of pink.
Sprinkle the gelatine over a 1/2 cup of the peach puree. Place the puree and gelatine in the microwave and heat for fifteen seconds. Take the puree out and stir it with a spoon. Heat it again for 15 seconds and stir again. Repeat the process until the mixture is very hot and the gelatine is dissolved. Mix the hot puree with the rest of the puree and refrigerate it for ten minutes.
Fold the peach mixture into the egg white mixture. Fold the whipped cream into the peach/egg white mixture. Refrigerate the filling for two or three hours in the bowl until it’s firm.
Place the filling into the graham cracker crust and refrigerate the pie for two or three hours until it’s firm. I hope you love this peach pie recipe as much as we do! It’s What’s For Dessert? And it’s DELICIOUS!

Nine days straight and you made a pie that cute? Where do you find the energy? I would have been shaking in a ball!
Peachy good! We used to have peach trees at our previous home, blackberries, too. I miss them so at this time of year. Nothing like fresh picked delicious fruits! That’s the thing I miss living on a TOTALLY shaded lot….
How lovely and fluffy looking! I love it, it looks like pie from a dream. mmmm I want to try this!
girl when do you find time to bake!!! I thought you were going to stop working so many hours…your pie looks wonderful and why would not. You’re a great baker
Yummy. Next time I’ll use peach jello and skip the red food dye because of allergy issues.
Thank you Rosie! I’m happy you were able to adjust the recipe to accommodate your allergy!
