Instructions

  1. Mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter and both sugars until combined. This will be used as the base.
  2. Remove ½ cup of this mix and mix with chopped pecans. This will be used as a topping; set aside for later.
  3. Press the graham cracker base into the serving cups or glasses. Depending on the size, you may yield eight or ten. Refrigerate these while you work on the filling.
  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat cream cheese until light and creamy.
  5. Cut four peaches in half and remove stone and stem. Save last peach for garnish.
  6. Place the peaches in a food processor and pulse until pureed but still have small peach pieces.
  7. Add the pureed peaches to the whipped cream cheese along with the optional peach schnapps, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, mace and pudding mix. Mix to combine.
  8. Scrape bowl then add condensed milk and mix again. Mix again and the fold in whipped topping.
  9. Cover bowl and refrigerate for about an hour to firm up the filling.
  10. While the filling is setting up, prepare a large pastry bag with a large star tip and set aside.
  11. Cut the last peach into wedges.
  12. Either in a small pan or in the microwave, melt butter and stir in brown sugar. Add pecans halves and peach wedges and toss to coat.
  13. Once the filling is set, spoon into the star tipped pastry bag.
  14. Remove glasses or dishes from the refrigerator and divide the peach preserves between each one, topping the crust.
  15. Next pipe the filling into each serving dish dividing the filling equally.
  16. Finally top each one with the chopped nut and graham mixture then place a peach wedge and three pecan halves on top of each serving.
  17. Serve immediately.

Notes

Some people do not like using the whipped topping that you can find in your grocer’s freezer case. There is an alternative – using real cream whipped with plain gelatin and some other ingredients. We have not tried to make that with this recipe, but it is an option. Here is a link to an alternative.
