Peaches and Cream Pie is like a pie, but it has no crust. It uses Bisquick, which bubbles up around the filling. It’s easy, quick, and will definitely become a family favorite.
Don’t you love old recipes? I don’t know where exactly this came from. My grandmother found it a few years ago when looking through old letters. It was given to her by her aunt (my great-great aunt) and she hadn’t had it in years. My mom didn’t seem to recognize the recipe, so clearly it had been a while.
Before you get freaked out over the word “pie,” don’t worry. You do not have to make a crust. It’s more like a bubble-up pie. The Bisquick in the recipe acts as the crust, but bakes around the rest of the ingredients. Not making a crust is my favorite part of this recipe. Well, that and the taste.
This pie is amazing. It is a life-giving pie. I made this for my neighbor when he was released from the hospital while getting over an unknown (to me) illness. He bopped right on over here to tell us how good it was. I’m pretty sure the pie is what made him feel better.
OK, that’s an exaggeration (or is it? Guess you’ll have to find out 😛 ). But it is a really good pie, guys. And it’s too easy for you NOT to try.
Peaches and Cream Pie
- 3/4 cup Bisquick
- 1/2 cup + 2 tsps sugar
- 3.5 oz vanilla pudding mix (NOT instant!)
- 1 (15-20 oz) can peaches, drained (keep the juice!)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tbsps butter or margarine, softened
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsps peach juice
Topping:
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Step 01: Mix the Bisquick, pudding mix, butter/margarine, eggs, and milk for 2 minutes or until well-combined. Add vanilla and 2 tsps sugar. Pout batter into a prepared 10-inch pie pan.
Step 02: Place peaches over the batter.
Step 03: Combine cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and peach juice. Pour over fruit. (For some reason, I poured and then tried to mix it in…which you’re not supposed to do. It worked out in the end, but don’t do it. :P)
Step 04: Mix together 1 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle over the batter.
Step 05: Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes.
This is not only my favorite summer dessert, but my favorite dessert period. It’s delicious and so easy.
If you can try only one dessert this summer, I highly recommend this one. Except then you’ll want to just keep making it…and that’s just not good for you. 😛
Which has become a problem for me, honestly.
The great thing about being an adult is that there is no one to stop me from eating this whole pie in one sitting.

“I live in an area where many of these ingredients do not exist!”
I’ve been receiving a lot of emails and comments saying basically this. As far as substitutions, it’s difficult for me to recommend any one thing because I don’t have the money to travel and, therefore, I have no clue what options are available to you. But here are some suggestions:
For the pudding:
Is powdered custard a thing? If it is and you have access to it, that would work in place of pudding mix. Just keep in mind that this recipe does not use an INSTANT mix. It uses “cook and serve.” So if your custard mix (should it exist) is made on the stove, then it’s perfect. (Just remember you do NOT make the pudding in this recipe. The powder gets added to the dry ingredients. Do not add ready-made custard to this, it will be too much liquid.)
There are also DIY versions of the mix. Food Fanatic has one here. I have never tried it, but if you’re OK with testing it out I would be grateful if you’d let me know how it went for you. Just add 3.5 oz of the powder to the dry ingredients and continue the recipe as is.
It is also available on Amazon, if ordering it is an option for you.
For the Bisquick:
This one is much easier, since there are TONS of homemade Bisquick recipes available on the Internet. Try this one from Happy Money Saver or use one that you prefer!
Like the pudding, it is also available on Amazon.
I hope that helps!

It’s sad we do not have all those ingredient here in Norway, that pie look soooo god!
Aww, that is sad!
Who doesn’t like peaches and cream. I’m sure everyone will enjoy this recipe so thanks for sharing with us at #anythinggoes linkup
That looks fabulous! What could you use instead of pudding? We don’t have boxed pudding mix here in Ireland, though the mother in law occasionally sends some from MO! No bisquik either, but I can cobble together a homemade version of that. Not sure where to start with the pudding though. Maybe custard?
Hi, Deb! This is one recipe I receive a lot of comments/emails for about that very problem (and thanks for being polite about it, many of the emails I receive aren’t), so I’ve been trying to come up with a decent solution! I find it a difficult question to answer, though, since I’m not sure what options ARE available outside the US. Is powdered custard a thing? If it is, that would be a perfect substitute, since custard and pudding are pretty similar. I wouldn’t add ready-made custard, that would be too much liquid.
There is a DIY pudding mix here, if you want to try that out (I haven’t tried it, but it seems like it would be a good idea for me to do so next time!). Just add the powder (3.5 oz of it) and then continue with the pie recipe as normal.
Is ordering the pudding off of Amazon an option? If so, it’s available here. (Bisquick is, as well, but with all the DIY recipes available for it, paying Amazon’s inflated price is just unnecessary.)
I hope this helps! If you try Food Fanatic’s pudding mix (linked to above) or you find a powdered custard, PLEASE let me know how it goes! 🙂
Yep, powdered custard is a big thing here, so I will try that and hope for the best. I just hope it won’t be too heavy. Thank you for the advice, cannot wait to give this ago, it looks so delicious! <3
Sounds nice. Thank you.

Peaches and cream are so good! My husband loves a good custard and this looks like the best way to go! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing with us at #OvertheMoon link Party. I’ve pinned and shared.
Thanks, Sue!
I think this is a fun recipe. It reminds me of something you’d find in a church cookbook 🙂
I’m glad you like it!
