Dairy and Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crust and Topping
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Toss freshly sliced peaches with a splash of zesty lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
- In a creamy preparation, whip softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Introduce aromatic vanilla extract and warm ground cinnamon into the cream cheese blend, stirring until thoroughly incorporated.
- Whip heavy cream to soft, billowy peaks, then delicately fold into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy texture.
- Create a crunchy base by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and golden honey, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Artfully arrange a layer of macerated peaches in a serving dish, creating an inviting fruit foundation.
- Gently cascade the luxurious cheesecake mixture over the peach layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Liberally sprinkle the prepared graham cracker crumble across the top for a delightful textural contrast.
- For added richness, scatter chopped pecans and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and achieve a firmer, more cohesive dessert. Serve chilled for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose ripe, juicy peaches for the most intense flavor and sweetness in your dessert.
- Drain excess liquid from peaches to prevent the dish from becoming watery and maintain a creamy texture.
- Adjust sugar levels to accommodate different dietary preferences, using alternatives like stevia or monk fruit sweetener for low-carb options.
- Prepare graham cracker crust ahead of time and store in an airtight container to maintain crispness for spontaneous dessert moments.
