Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Remove cream cheese from refrigerator and let soften at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to ensure smooth mixing.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
- Pour in vanilla extract and mix briefly to distribute evenly throughout the cream cheese mixture.
- In a separate clean bowl, whip heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Wash and slice fresh peaches into thin, uniform pieces, removing any bruised or soft spots.
- Layer half of the sliced peaches on the bottom of the pre-made graham cracker crust.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the peach layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Arrange remaining peach slices decoratively on top of the cheesecake filling.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
- Before serving, let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled, optionally garnishing with additional fresh peach slices or mint leaves.
Tips
- Ensure cream cheese is truly at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing.
- When whipping cream, use a chilled bowl and beaters for faster, more stable peaks.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain its airy texture.
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the most intense flavor.
- For a cleaner slice, run your knife under hot water before cutting.
- Make this dessert a day ahead to allow flavors to meld and set perfectly.
- For a gourmet touch, consider adding a light sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey on top before serving.
