"Creamy, peachy and crunchy, this is a scrumptious new twist on your average peach cobbler. This recipe is from a former baker at a catering facility. I posted this as a request for dessert to serve a large group; it does serve 24 but can easily be halved and baked in a 13X9 dish to serve 12. I have not actually baked this myself, but I have eaten this, yummmmy! I will do my best on prep/cook estimates, which will include only the ingredient prep and cooking on stove top and baking. It will not include the toasting of the pecans, which is optional, nor will it include the freezing time, which would probably be about 4 hours."

I am not too sure if this is a frozen dessert and if the peaches are fresh or canned. But I have made it twice now, because after the first time it was addicting. Too bad I always wait until the end of peach season to make it. I made a half batch both times. After using fresh peaches, which I had no juice from them, and topping it, I have always put it into the frig.

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
