Ingredients
  

  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 12-ounce carton Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 small 3-ounce box peach jello
  • 2 14-ounce cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup, drained and diced
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Can opener
  • Strainer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving bowl or trifle dish

Method
 

Step 1: Beat the cream cheese and sugar
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. This helps avoid lumps later.
Step 2: Mix in the Cool Whip
  1. Fold in the Cool Whip gently with a spatula until everything is smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the peach jello
  1. Sprinkle in the dry peach jello powder and mix until fully combined. This adds that bright peach flavor and pretty color.
Step 4: Stir in the peaches, marshmallows, and pecans
  1. Add the diced peaches, mini marshmallows, and chopped pecans. Gently fold everything together until well mixed.
Step 5: Chill and serve
  1. Transfer to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. The chilling time helps everything set and the flavors come together.

Notes

1. When making this Millionaire Peach Salad Recipe, make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing to get that smooth, creamy texture.
2. Drain the canned peaches well so the salad doesn’t turn watery — this step makes a big difference in keeping it fluffy and light.
3. I like to chill mine for at least two hours before serving because it helps the flavors blend perfectly. For an extra crunch, lightly toast the pecans before adding them.
