Peach Ice Box Pie

I have a new favorite season. Peach season. How was it so fleeting? When I asked the farmers at the market what type of peaches they'll have next week, they told me that they were out and to see them next year. It came and went, leaving me with the sweetest taste in my daydreams. To preserve some of that summer goodness, I decided to sacrifice two of my ripest plumpest peaches for an ice box pie. 

Because you know me, and I can't seem to follow directions, I made my own version of the decadent southern dessert. I crushed up shortbread biscuits for the crust and mixed the sweetened condensed milk with coconut milk. Perfect pie for a late summer Louisiana afternoon!
