Instructions

1. Prepare the crust

2. Make the cream layer
   In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until fully incorporated. Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust.

3. Prepare the peach layer
   Dissolve peach gelatin in 1 cup of hot water, then stir in 1 cup of cold water. Let it cool until slightly thickened (but not fully set). Gently fold in peach slices.
