Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar sifted if lumpy
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 3 ounces peach-flavored gelatin mix 1 standard box
  • 30.5 ounces canned sliced peaches in light syrup drained and diced into bite-size pieces
  • 2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans finely chopped, plus extra for garnish if desired

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, use a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed to blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides, until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Add the thawed whipped topping and peach-flavored gelatin mix to the cream cheese mixture. Whisk or beat gently on low speed until everything is fully combined and no dry streaks of gelatin remain.
  3. Using a spatula, carefully fold in the drained diced peaches and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for a firmer texture.
  4. Just before serving, gently fold in the chopped pecans. Transfer the chilled dessert to a serving bowl or individual dishes, sprinkle with extra pecans if desired, and serve cold.

Notes

For fresh peach substitution, toss 4 to 5 chopped ripe peaches with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice before folding in.
Make sure the cream cheese is truly at room temperature to avoid stubborn lumps.
Fold the fruit and marshmallows gently to keep the peach pieces intact.
Chill for at least 1 hour if you are in a hurry, but 2 hours gives the best flavor melding.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir before serving.
If you prefer a lighter texture, use sugar-free peach gelatin and reduced-sugar marshmallows.
This dessert is best served with a spoon and can be garnished with mint leaves for a fresh pop of color.
