Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese using an electric mixer set on medium speed until smooth and luxurious.
-
Incorporate the Goodness:
- Gradually add the eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar, milk, and vanilla to the cream cheese, ensuring to beat well after each addition. This creates a velvety and sweet base for your pie.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Pour this delightful mixture into an unbaked pie shell and let it bake in a preheated 375-degree Fahrenheit oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the filling is set. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be simply irresistible.
-
Prepare the Peach Glaze:
- Drain the peaches, but reserve 1 cup of the tantalizing peach juice. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup sugar for the glaze. Gradually stir in the reserved peach juice, lemon juice, and almond extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
-
Artistic Arrangement:
- Once the pie has cooled slightly, arrange the drained peach slices in a circle, creating a petal-like pattern on top of the cream cheese filling. If you desire an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a maraschino cherry at the center.
-
Glaze and Chill:
- Spoon the cooled peach glaze over the peach slices, ensuring a luscious coating. Cover the pie and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour or until the filling and glaze are set, allowing the flavors to meld into a harmonious symphony of taste.
