Why Choose This Recipe

- Quick, easy, and from scratch!
Ingredient Notes
- Fresh Peaches - you'll need 2 large or 3 average sized ones for this recipe. You can substitute frozen or canned peaches, but you'll need to drain all the excess liquid from them and pat them dry with paper towels before adding them to the batter.
- Flour - all purpose, not bread flour and never self rising.
Step by Step Instructions
- We're going to start with how to easily remove the peach skins.
- Bring a small pot of water to boil.
- Place the peaches in the boiling water and boil for about 45 seconds.
- Remove the peaches from the boiling water and immediately plunge them into ice water.
- Let them sit in the ice water for about a minute.
- Rub the skins off the peaches.
- Slice and dice the peaches into small chunks and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350.
- Prepare a standard bread loaf pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray OR lining it with parchment paper to easily lift the loaf out of the pan (this is my favorite way)
- Just use office clips to hold the parchment paper in place.
- Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Beat in the sugar.
- Add the eggs, vanilla and almond extracts.
- Beat in half the flour.
- Fold the peaches in with the remaining half of the flour.
- Spread evenly the prepared loaf pan and yes, in will be quite full.
- Bake for 30 minutes and tent with foil.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes longer. A toothpick will come out with sticky crumbs.
- Cool completely, remove from pan and devour!
Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
I like mine room temp. when I eat it, but I did put store it in my fridge overnight instead of letting it sit on my counter top.
Yes, just make sure it's completely cool before wrapping well in saran wrap followed by a layer of foil and popping it in the freezer.
