Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Graham Cracker Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 14-16 full sheets)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Peach Cheesecake Filling:
  • 16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 1/2 cups finely diced ripe peaches, divided
  • For the Peach Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups diced ripe peaches
  • 2 tablespoons peach preserves or apricot jam
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt until crumbs are evenly moist. Press firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in sour cream and vanilla until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Gently fold in 1 cup of the finely diced peaches.
  6. Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread into an even layer. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  7. Make the topping: Just before serving, combine the remaining 1/2 cup diced peaches (from filling) with the 1 1/2 cups for the topping. In a small saucepan, warm the peach preserves and lemon juice over low heat until fluid. Gently toss the diced peaches in the glaze.
  8. Spoon the glazed peaches over the chilled cheesecake layer. Slice into bars and serve.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor. The bars need the full chill time to set properly. For a neater slice, use a hot, clean knife to cut.
