Preparation

Step 1

Set oven to bake at 375 degrees. In either a glass pie pan or a large tart pan (choose pie if you like a lot of filling; choose tart if you like less filling), liberally rub bottoms and sides with butter. Set aside. In a food processor, add all the ingredients EXCEPT the Nutella and process on pulse until it looks like sand. It won't take long, just a minute or two if that. Pour crust mixture into your choice of pan. Then using your knuckles, start pushing down and across into the rim to form a crust. It will be a thicker crust on the pie than on the tart. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for five minutes. After five minutes or so, spread 1/2 a jar (or more to taste) of Nutella onto the bottom of the still warm crust and up the sides. Then set aside to finish cooling while you make the filling.

In a food processor, add the cream cheese and the peach Greek yogurt. Process until smooth and creamy. Add the cream cheese mixture on top of the Nutella layer and smooth to the edges of the pan. Add the sliced peaches to the top of the pie/tart in a circular pattern. I usually start at the outside and work my way in. You will probably use more peaches on the tart than on the pie. After decorating with the peaches, swirl the slightly cooled and melted Peach Preserves over the top of the whole pie or tart to glaze. If you eat it immediately, it will probably run slightly but it won't affect the taste at all! For a firmer texture, refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Enjoy!
