Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant cheesecake pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping
Fruit and Texture
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) sliced peaches in juice, drained and chopped
- 2 cups vanilla wafer cookies crushed
Flavorings
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans
Instructions
- Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant cheesecake pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened, ensuring no lumps remain for a creamy base.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Add Peaches and Flavorings: Stir in the chopped drained peaches, crushed vanilla wafer cookies, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly so the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Incorporate Pecans (Optional): If using, fold in the toasted pecans carefully to add a crunchy element without breaking them down too much.
- Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the dessert to set and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve: Serve chilled, optionally garnishing with extra crushed vanilla wafers or fresh peach slices on top for an appealing presentation.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use sugar-free pudding mix and light whipped topping.
- Fresh peaches can be substituted when in season for a fresher taste.
- Add more crushed vanilla wafers just before serving to maintain extra crunchiness.
