Apricot Peach Mini Desserts

 

   Apricot peach dessert, is light and refreshing, you’ll love the mini version!  This little Apricot Peach No Bake Mini Dessert is easy, too!  These mini desserts are displayed in mini goblets but could also be served in 12 of the mini shot glasses or one of the smaller mini dessert glasses.

  This little apricot peach dessert was aimed at pleasing eight-year-old Sophia.  She loves peaches.  There was a can of sliced peaches in the pantry.  There are several boxes of JELL-O in the pantry, but the closest thing to peach was apricot.  That is why this is not a ‘Peach No Bake Mini Dessert’!

   Apricot and peach flavors go well together anyway.  Isn’t it interesting that the powdered JELL-O completely dissolves into the cream cheese?



 

 Apricot Peach No Bake Mini Dessert

  • 3/4 cup crushed Vanilla Wafers*
  • 2 Tblsp. melted Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons  Sugar
  • 1- 8-ounce block Cream Cheese
  • 1 – 3-ounce pkg Apricot flavored JELL-O
  • 1 cup chopped peaches (1 – 15-ounce can – drain and reserve 1 small peach slice for each of the 6 individual desserts)
  • 1 – 8-ounce container of Cool Whip (Only 6 ounces are needed)

     Combine the crushed vanilla wafers, the 3 tablespoons of sugar, and the melted butter.  Mix together well  Divide evenly among the six mini dessert glasses.  (About 2 1/2 tsp. each for the goblet glasses.)  Press the cookie layer down at the bottom of each little glass.

 

    Mix the softened cream cheese and the powdered JELL-O with a mixer until completely blended.   The electric hand mixer works well for this but just be sure the cream cheese is softened.  (Tip*** Forgot to set the block of cream cheese out to soften?  Don’t worry!   To soften the cream cheese, completely unwrap the package of cream cheese and place it in a glass bowl. Discard the wrapper.  Microwave on high for 10 seconds just until softened.)

 Add the chopped peaches and 3/4 of the 8-ounce container of Cool Whip. (Divide the container in half with a knife.  Then divide those halves in half, making a cross in the cool whip.  Each of the 4 sections should be 2 ounces.  Scoop out three of the four sections.)

 Fold in the remaining Cool Whip.

    Garnish with peach slices.  Cut each slice into 3 pieces.  Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.

 * You can add a couple of tablespoons of ground almonds to the vanilla wafers to equal the 3/4 cup if you like a slightly nutty flavor.  You’ll notice I do this in a lot of the desserts with a crumbled crust.  


And the Results! 

   Surprisingly, Aidan wolfed this dessert down faster than Sophia!  They both agreed it was pretty yummy.  After they finished these little desserts, they instructed me to make a dessert with blueberries for next week!  Click here for more ►mini desserts.
