Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
Prepare Pan: Lightly spray the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with oil.
-
Make Crust:
- In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
-
Prepare Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in the sugar until well blended.
- Add the flour, vanilla extract, eggs, and heavy cream. Beat the mixture well.
-
Add Peaches:
- Gently stir in the chopped fresh peaches into the cream cheese mixture.
-
Bake:
- Pour the filling into the baked crust.
- Place a shallow pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven.
- Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet in the top half of the oven.
- Bake at 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Cool:
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Afterward, cool the cheesecake completely on a wire rack.
-
Chill:
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
-
Garnish:
- Before serving, if desired, garnish the cheesecake with fresh peach slices.
Tips and Tricks:
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.
- To prevent cracks, avoid overmixing the batter once the eggs are added.
- For a neat presentation, run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake before releasing it from the springform pan.
Serving Suggestions:
This Fresh Peach Cheesecake is delightful on its own, but you can elevate it further with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Serve slices with a side of fresh peach slices or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
