tip
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). In a medium-sized bowl, blend together vanilla pudding mix, cream cheese, and 1/4 cup (60 mL) cream until smooth using an electric mixer.
In a medium sized bowl, slice peaches and toss with sugar, cornstarch and ground ginger.
Follow package directions for making Shirriff pie crust. Lightly dust a clean counter top and rolling pin with flour. Roll out half of the dough into a 10-inch round. Use more flour if crust starts to stick. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread cream cheese mixture in center of pastry, leaving a 2-inch border. Layer peaches on top in a circular pattern until the entire top has been covered in an attractive design.
Fold border up over peaches and brush crust with remaining cream. Bake at 450°F (230°C) in bottom third of oven for 10 minutes, turn oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for another 25 minutes. Remove from oven and brush peach jam over peaches. Serve warm.
