How to Make Peaches And Cream Dessert

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt 1/4 cup (57g) butter in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups (190g) crushed graham crackers, 1/4 cup (30g) sugar, and 1/4 cup (30g) chopped pecans.
Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.
While the crust is cooling, in a large bowl, beat 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1/2 cup (100g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In a saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup (100g) sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 package (3 oz) lemon-flavored gelatin.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup (240ml) water and 1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (30g) butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly, then stir in 4 cups (about 400g) sliced fresh peaches.
Pour the peach mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely.
Top with additional whipped cream before serving (optional).
