Description

Peaches and Cream Cheesecake combines a rich, creamy filling with fresh peaches and a buttery graham cracker crust for a refreshing yet indulgent dessert.


Ingredients

  1. For the crust:
  2. 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  3. ¼ cup granulated sugar
  4. 1/3 cup butter, melted
  5. For the cheesecake filling:
  6. 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  7. 1 cup granulated sugar
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 3 large eggs
  10. 1 cup sour cream
  11. 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  12. For the peach topping:
  13. 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced (or 1 can of peach slices, drained)
  14. 2 tablespoons honey or granulated sugar (optional)
  15. 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract, lemon juice, and beat in eggs one at a time. Finally, fold in sour cream. Pour this mixture over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
  2. Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly wobbly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cool for 1 hour. Then, chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Prepare the peach topping by tossing sliced peaches with honey or sugar and lemon juice. If using canned peaches, drain them thoroughly.
  4. Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, top with the peach slices. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
  5. Serve chilled, slice into wedges, and enjoy!

Notes

  1. For a different topping, you can use strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
  2. For a tangier flavor, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
  3. To make this cheesecake gluten-free, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs for the crust.
  4. Frozen peaches can be used; just make sure to thaw and drain them well.
  5. For a richer flavor, drizzle with caramel sauce or add a cinnamon sprinkle on the peaches.
