If you’ve been to the market lately {or any store}, you’ll know that right now is a great time to get fresh peaches at an affordable price. If you are blessed to have your own peaches trees – perfect – and I’m so jealous! So, why not embrace the available stock and make a delicious peaches recipe! These Peaches and Cream Bars are sweet, creamy and has a taste all on their own.
It’s a fruit + white cake + cream cheese marriage that is sheer bliss!
While fruit dessert may have you thinking ‘summer’, since this one does have cake and cream cheese – it’s so perfect for the upcoming Fall season.
I love that you can distinctly taste the peaches and cream cheese, yet also that classic vanilla flavour. This recipe really makes the ingredients shine.
I do use Mexican Vanilla Extract in all my baking, I think it’s far superior to any other. You can of course use any vanilla extract, yet I do suggest you get some from Mexico the next time you go or know someone that does. Since I use mine a lot, I always stock up each time we travel and I’ve been know to say, “oh, get me some vanilla!” to family and friends.
Enjoy the recipe, I know we sure do!
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1/3 cup butter softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 large can peaches diced OR 4-5 fresh peaches, diced
- 8 oz . Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla
-
Preheat oven to 350
-
In a bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg and butter and mix with a fork until it resembles crumbs. Set aside 1 1/3 cup of the crumbs
-
Press the remaining crumbs into a 9x9 greased pan and bake for 10 minutes {this will be the bottom crust}
-
While the crust is baking, dice peaches if you haven't already
-
When the crust is cooked, spoon the peaches on top of the warm crust
-
Using a mixer - combine cream cheese, sugar, 1 eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy
-
Spread cream cheese mixture over the peaches and sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top
-
Bake for 32 minutes and let it cool before serving. I let it sit on the counter for 20 minutes to cool, then place in the fridge for a couple hours before serving.

Enjoy!

With this being peach season, I’ve been looking for new ways to use them. This looks very promising although I’ll be using regular vanilla. It’s hard to believe that one must travel to Mexico to buy their vanilla. Isn’t there any place in Canada that sells it?
Looks delicious, gonna get some peaches this week!!
These look delicious, Tammi!

We love peaches but I don’t have many recipes for baking with them. This looks like a great alternative to pie or cobbler. Thanks for sharing

Directions say to combine cream cheese, sugar, 1egg, & vanilla but sugar is not listed in the recipe. How much sugar what kind?
Granulated sugar and thanks for catching that, I’ve updated the recipe! 🙂
