Peach Vanilla Cheesecake Trifle

Quick and easy snacks and desserts are best, aren't they?  This Peach Vanilla Cheesecake Trifle is simple to whip up and will be sure to impress all your family and friends!

Growing up, I absolutely loved dirt cup for summer kids desserts.  Heck, I still love me some dirt cup.  You know, that classic mix of Jell-O pudding, Cool Whip, and crushed up chocolate sandwich cookies.  Ahhh, glorious, glorious dirt cup.

Now that I'm an adult-ish, I suppose it might behove me (did I really just use the word behove?? ...that's very adult) to update those simple snack recipes like dirt cup to a more grown-up, slightly sophisticated version.

But good news kids.  This Peach Vanilla Cheesecake Trifle isn't just for grown-ups.  You'll love it too.  It's just like dirt cup... promise.

Peach Vanilla Cheesecake Trifle

Is anyone else completely obsessed with peaches this time of year?  I'm a total sucker for peach crisp.  And peach pie.  I'm also super excited to try this Peach Salsa recipe my blogging bud Sandra just posted over at Kitchen Apparel.  That's sure to an awesome quick and easy snack πŸ˜‰

And this Peach Vanilla Cheesecake Trifle?  It's so super simple to whip up.  Even admist this whole hectic back-to-school time of year.  Because let's admit it.  School time might be breathing down our necks, but the weather is still fine and we want to live it up with family and friends for a few more weeks.

Asheley may or may not have caught me licking the bowls of the cheesecake and pudding layers.  Don't worry, she's a good wife... she joined in πŸ™‚

And then we happily devoured this peach vanilla cheesecake trifle with some friends.  #summerforthewin

    Oh heck, yes! I need this dessert. This is just so much more interesting then the traditional one with bananas. Peaches are a much better idea. Oh and you will love the salsa, and I'm sure you'll put your own twist on it...habaneros perhaps?

    wow I haven't thought about dirt cups in SO long, what a throwback!!! (and yes, I loved them too!). Def using that Cool Whip coupon because I buy it on nearly every shopping trip in the summer, and on my next one I think I'm gonna have to use it to make this!! Wow, this trifle looks incredible, and the step-by-step photos are especially appreciated - looks fab Chris!

    Layers upon layers of pure awesomeness. What can I say man??? This is legendary.
    I just wish I could have a slice (or maybe two) before my triathlon on Sunday, I'm positive it will provide all the necessary energy to push me to the finish line. Plus, running on a full stomach is definitely better. Don't you think?
