Peach Delight

Peach Delight – ok ok ok, I’ll be the first to admit that it’s the LAMEST name EVER, but I was seriously struggling! Here’s the full story:

My dear sweet Grandma made this dessert a few years ago, and I inhaled it. Surprising, since I don’t actually love peaches. It was literally addicting and I couldn’t get it in my mouth fast enough. Moral of this story? My Grandma called it “Peach Dessert.” There, now my name (Peach Delight) doesn’t seem so bad….

…unless you happen to be singing “Afternoon Delight” instead of “Peach Delight.” Shoot.

Recipe name fail. I’m open to suggestions…Bueller? Bueller?

The thing that makes this fruit/jello dessert different from some of the others I’ve had is the graham cracker crust. Again, I’m usually not a fan of jello desserts. You could say I’m a picky dessert eater…. Anyway, I digress.

Forget the name. No, “Peach Delight” is not my most creative name, but just trust me on this one – it’s yum. You’ll love it.

  1. This is an old family favorite at our house! Sadly it is simply “Peach Dessert” to us as well, but the lack of a creative name doesn’t stop us from devouring it every year with our home grown peaches. I’m such a snob I can’t do it with store bought peaches! OH, I wish I had some right now!
