Fresh Peach Dessert

In my quest for new peach recipes, I found this Fresh Peach Dessert from http://www.food.com/.  It sounded easy to make.  It was.  It did take a while to set up, which I thought it might.  So I made it the night before I needed it. It was delicious and a definite keeper!

Fresh Peach Dessert

crust

18 graham cracker squares (1 package)

4 tablespoons butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

1 (6 ounce) package vanilla pudding mix (the kind you cook)

1 (6 ounce) package jello peach gelatin

4 cups water

1 1/2 cups whipped topping (cool whip)

3 cups peaches, sliced

In a medium sauce pan, combine dry pudding mix, jello powder and water.  Stir and heat to a boil. Let it boil for one minute.  Pour mixture into a bowl and place in the fridge to cool and thicken for about a hour.  Peel and cut up peaches and set aside.  Remove cooled Jello from the fridge and fold in the cool whip topping. Next fold in fresh fruit. Place back in fridge.

Prepare graham cracker crust in a food processor or blender, adding all 3 ingredients.  Place crust in the bottom of a 9 x 13 dish or in 2 pie dishes and press down firmly.
Remove Jello mixture and pour into the crust. Place back in fridge to continue firming up, about another hour.
