Peaches and Cream Pie
Just because the snow has started to fall, it doesn’t mean that we have to give up those delicious flavors of summer. Can peaches are the perfect alternative to make this light tasting dessert.
The white chocolate is optional, but keep in mind it will prevent the crust from getting soggy and will extend the life of the pie in the fridge by 2 or 3 days.
