4 oz. cream cheese
One half Pt. Whipping Cream
One half Cup powdered sugar
1tsp. vanilla

instructions:

Moisten cheese with small amount of whipping cream. Blend till creamy. Add remaining whipping cream to cream cheese and whip together. Add sugar and vanilla. Mixture will be thick. Pour into 9 inch baked shell. Set in frig 1 hour.

sauce ingredients:
about 5 lbs of fresh peaches (1- 1/2 Cup mashed)
3 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 Cup sugar

sauce instructions:

Blend mashed peaches, cornstarch and sugar and cook til thick. Cool mixture until very cool. Slice peeled peaches generously over the cream cheese mixture. Pour sauce over top and eat or chill more. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Sidenote:

The cream cheese mixture is variable. If you want more cream cheese, just double the cream, whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. Some like more cream cheese and some like less. Make it to your taste. It depends on whether you want more peaches and less cream cheese. You need a deep pie dish. You may want to have some cream cheese mixture left over to put a dollop on the top.
