Cook Time:

Servings:
8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups crushed gingersnap cookies, divided
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • One 16-ounce carton frozen whipped topping, divided
  • One 3.4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 ripe peaches--peeled, pitted and sliced
  • One 11.2-ounce bottle Mike's Hard Lemonade
  • 1½ tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
  1. Make the crust: In a medium-sized bowl, mix 1¾ cups of the crushed gingersnap cookies and melted butter with a rubber spatula until the butter is evenly distributed throughout the crumbs. Press evenly into a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Make the filling: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine two-thirds of the frozen whipped topping with the vanilla pudding mix and the condensed milk. Mix until smooth, then spoon onto the crust, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula.
  3. Evenly distribute all of the filling over the crust. Then top with the remaining gingersnap crumbs, evenly covering the cream mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
  4. Meanwhile make the warm peach lemonade topping: Light a grill. Lay out a large piece of tinfoil on a clean work surface. Place the peaches in the center and fold the foil to form a packet. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Mike's Hard Original Lemonade, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and kosher salt. Pour into the packet over the peaches and crimp the edges of the foil to seal.
  5. Place the packet on the grill or bake in the oven until the liquid has evaporated and the peaches are tender, 15 minutes. Remove the packet from the heat source and transfer to a serving bowl.
  6. Remove the pie from the refrigerator and spread the remaining whipped topping in an even layer over top. Slice the pie and divide between plates. Spoon the peach topping over each slice and serve.
