What You Need

cup flour

1/4

cup plus 2 tsp. sugar, divided

tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder

1/2

tsp. lemon zest

oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed

1/3

cup plus 1 Tbsp. milk, divided

large fresh peaches (1-1/4 lb.), sliced

1-1/2

Tbsp. lemon juice

cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Make It

HEAT oven to 425ºF.

MIX flour, 2 Tbsp. sugar, baking powder and zest in large bowl. Cut in cream cheese with 2 knives or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/3 cup milk until mixture forms dough.

USE floured hands to divide dough into 8 pieces; shape each into ball. Place, 3 inches apart, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray; flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Brush tops lightly with remaining milk; sprinkle with 2 tsp. of the remaining sugar.

BAKE 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown. Meanwhile, combine peaches, remaining sugar and lemon juice.

COOL shortcakes slightly; split in half. Fill with peach mixture and COOL WHIP just before serving.

The peaches were a great twist on a classic dessert.

Shortcakes are great as a cookie. I sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top of them before baking.

This is a super easy recipe. My family loved it. Made it last night with peaches. The shortcakes are the best thing I ever ate even by themselves. It was so good, they requested it again tonight. So we're having it with strawberries. If you have not tried it is a MUST. Thanks Kraft. I cook from your magazines I get in the meal at 3 times a week. I sprinkled cinnamon on top of the shortcakes with the sugar and it made all the difference. Again thank you again for this wonderful recipe.

I made this shortcake but I substituted strawberries and their juice for the peaches. It was the best Strawberry Shortcake every. The cake is so moist and the lemon zest adds wonderful flavor. This is my new fav shortcake recipe.
