Instructions
Preparation of Crust

- Add in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping gently to maintain its airy texture.
Assembling the Layers
- Spread half of the creamy mixture over the graham cracker crust evenly.
- Layer sliced peaches on top of the cream.
- Pour the remaining cream mixture over the peaches, spreading evenly.
- Finish with another layer of sliced peaches on top.
Chilling and Serving
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Once set, slice into squares, top with extra peaches if desired, and serve chilled.
- Add a dollop of whipped topping for extra flair.
