Peach Icebox Pie
No need to heat the oven for this Peach Icebox Pie! Enjoy a slice (or two) while peaches are in season.
Thank heavens it’s peach season. What a glorious time of year. Perfectly peachy peaches–what could be better?
Maybe a slice of Peach Icebox Pie on a hot summer day. With a cool, creamy filling and nutty crust, this pie is simple to make and there’s no need to heat up the oven!
I’ve been wanting to make a nut-based pie crust for a while, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Peaches and pecans. Two classically Southern ingredients that were just meant for each other, like collard greens & cornbread.
This is probably the easiest pie crust you could ever make. Just throw the ingredients into a food processor, and once the mixture clumps together, you’re in business. I just love the color!
Ingredients
Crust (Adapted from Foodie with Family):
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 8-20 pitted dates or prunes*
Filling:
- 6 peaches skin removed and roughly chopped
- 1 ripe avocado diced
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 7 mint leaves
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- 1. In a food processor fitted with metal blade, process the coconut flakes and pecans together until the texture is similar to bread crumbs. Add 6 dates or prunes to the food processor and process until completely ground. Add one date or prune at a time until you are able to clump a tablespoon of the mixture together in your hand. If the mixture falls apart, return it to the food processor and continue to add 1 date or prune at a time and processing completely.
- 2. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch deep dish pie plate and press it firmly and evenly on the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Place the pie plate in the refrigerator to set while making the filing.
- 3. Clean the food processor bowl and blade to make filling. Process the peaches, avocado, and Greek yogurt together until smooth. Add the agave nectar, lime juice, chia seeds, mint, and salt and process until combined.
- 4. Pour filling into the prepared pie crust. Use the back of a spatula to smooth out the filling. Place pie plate in the freezer and allow pie to freeze for 2 hours, then cover surface of pie with plastic wrap.
- 5. Serve pie frozen and garnish with fresh mint if desired or even a small dollop of homemade whipped cream.

I have a bunch of peaches need to try this recipe
Hope you enjoy it!
Wow! Love the color of this pie. I would had never imagined it contains avocado. My husband hates avocado, but I think this color is a total disguised. Have to try it.
Yes, the avocado is very sneaky! He will never know it’s there!
