Oy, my belly is too full because I ate most of this yummy pie. I was worried it would be a little gelatinous but it wasn't at all. The berry flavors really popped and were delightful. To keep it light, I used egg roll wrappers for the crust. I topped with a dollop of Lite Cool Whip. My peaches were unfortunately canned, as I haven't had access to good fresh ones yet this year. But even so, this was delicious and I definitely will make it again. Just not too soon....because I fear overeating again. :)

This is a very nice and light dessert and simple to put together. The presentation is beautiful. I made the crust using phyllo dough.

This was yummy, yummy. We all really enjoyed this a few weeks back when it just started to get warm out. I am planning on making it again. Reviewed for Zaar tag.
