Make this Creamy Peach Salad with fresh peaches and a creamy delicious cheesecake filling, you will love! Add the optional brown sugar and pecan topping if you choose. It’s great for a fresh summer fruit salad.

Fresh fruit salads are always perfect for potlucks and get togethers. You can make them all year long. During peach season, this fresh peach fruit salad it one of my favorite side dishes to serve. It’s a Creamy Peach Salad with cheesecake filling,so it is a bit different than many other recipes you may have tried.
If you need other creamy salad recipes, consider making my Creamy Grape Salad or a Creamy Strawberry Banana Salad. Those are two other fruit salads that are always a crowd pleaser.

It’s peach season so fresh peaches are on sale quite often this month. There’s nothing better than a juicy fresh peach. I typically look to introduce new fresh peach recipes each year. But, I have been making this Peaches and Cream Salad for years as my family always requests it along with my Custard Peach Pie every single peach season.

If fresh peaches are in season, use them in this recipe. The flavors will knock your socks off. If you love peaches year round, this Creamy Peach Salad can be made with frozen or canned peaches too!

Fresh fruit salads are always great for a BBQ, picnic or potluck. They are simple to make and most everyone loves fresh fruit and cheesecake together. You can make this Creamy Peach Salad, a Traditional Fruit Salad or my Creamy Orange Salad if you are needing a quick and easy side dish.

Creamy Peach Salad Ingredients

For this Creamy Cheesecake Peach Salad dessert, we wanted to keep things as simple as we could- who doesn’t love a quick, 4-ingredient dessert recipe? We were able to pare things down to these 4 essential ingredients, but we also have a couple extra ingredients if you want to make it even better! Here’s all you need for this:

• Peaches – Fresh peaches will work best for this recipe. In a pinch, you could try using frozen peaches or canned peaches instead of fresh- just know that they’ll likely end up much softer in the finished salad.
• Milk
• Instant Pudding Mix – We used this Jell-O cheesecake pudding mix in our Peach Salad. You could probably sub in something like vanilla pudding mix if you prefered.
• Yogurt – We used this peach yogurt from Yoplait but, again, you could just use vanilla pudding if you want! The peach yogurt just seems to play well in this recipe and brings a lot more flavor.

That’s all you’ll need for the dessert salad. For a topping, we also grabbed some chopped pecans and hit it with a quick sprinkling of brown sugar.

How to make Fresh Peach Salad

You’re not gonna have to do much to whip up this tasty dessert! This Creamy Peach Salad is actually pretty easy to make- shouldn’t be too much of a shock, since there’s so few ingredients. To make this tasty peaches and cream dessert, here’s all you have to get done:

• You’ll want to start by prepping your peaches. Either core your peaches or simply just trim around the center as you chop them into bite-sized pieces.

• Set those aside and start preparing our dessert salad dressing. For that, add your pudding mix to the milk and whisk together to combine.

• Once those are mixed, add your yogurt to the milk and pudding mixture. Use a whisk to help mix everything together well until you have a nice creamy dressing. Grab your sliced peaches, add them to the cheesecake dressing, and stir together to coat and combine. Add any toppings like pecans or sugar and enjoy.

Storage / Freezing

Storage: You should be able to keep your Creamy Peach Salad in the fridge if you have any leftovers. Consider covering with plastic wrap before putting in the refrigerator. Kept like this, expect it to last 2-3 days- just keep an eye out for it getting kind of watery or runny.

Freezing: You can also trying keeping your Peach Salad frozen. For best taste and texture, keep frozen for 2-3 months. Let thaw in the fridge before serving. I have not tested freezing but, it should work.
