Peaches and Cream Tart

Submitted by Irmgard

"This recipe from Food and Drink magazine is a perfect summer dessert as it doesn't require any baking. It is very simple to prepare, using a prepared graham crumb crust and canned peaches. You can vary the flavour by using a chocolate crumb crust. If fresh peaches are in season, use 3 fresh peaches which have been peeled and pitted. Chilling time is cooking time."
