I was thinking a base at the bottom made with cream cheese would be good. Any ideas? Mon Jul 06 18:36:46 -0700 2009 161178 inagail 1 4834978 I make a strawberry pie with a cream cheese layer (plain, room temp and whipped), and the recipe can also be made with peaches (i've never tried it, but the friend who shared the recies said the peach version is just as yummy). You've inspired me to drag the recipe out and give the peach version a try! Mon Jul 06 18:42:32 -0700 2009 4834964 92324 Foodie in Friedberg 1 4834983 Thanks! You just confirmed that I've probably had this before, and that's why the idea keeps popping in my head. I think the tartness of the cream cheese would be a nice contrast, plus a different texture. Do you whip anything into it?

Mon Jul 06 18:50:06 -0700 2009 4834983 92324 Foodie in Friedberg 2 4835002 some of the recipes i've seen call for a little powdered sugar blended into the cream cheese (usually about 1 teaspoon of sugar per ounce of CC), and occasionally a little vanilla or lemon zest for added flavor.

And beings that that is my boyfriend's favorite part of the pie, I had to make my own. I googled "peach glaze" and found a great recipe on cooks. com for the whole pie, glaze included. Used a homemade graham cracker crust, and loved it! So did my boyfriend! : ) PS: didn't blend the whipped cream into the cream cheese, increased the cream cheese to 4 oz, and reduced the sugar to about 2 Tbs.
