Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 cup graham crackers, crushed
- ½ cup whipped cream, heavy
- 16 oz (2 blocks) softened cream cheese
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup peaches, sliced (canned or fresh)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ cup crushed wafers (vanilla or graham)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- ¼ cup caramel topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) if a firmer crust is preferred. In a bowl, blend crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture into the base of mini cheesecake pans or muffin trays. Chill for a no-bake option, or bake for 8 minutes and let it cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until velvety. In another bowl, whip heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- In a saucepan, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp water and add it to the peaches. Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens (around 5 minutes), then let it cool.
- Spread a layer of cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, add a spoonful of the peach mixture, and cover with more cheesecake filling, smoothing it out on top.
- Refrigerate the cheesecakes to set for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Mix crushed wafers with melted butter and brown sugar in a bowl until crumbly.
- Once set, arrange peach slices on top of the cheesecakes, sprinkle with the crumble, and drizzle with caramel topping. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a healthier option, consider using a sugar substitute in the crust and filling.
- The cheesecakes can be made a day in advance for convenience.
- Feel free to use fresh or canned peaches based on availability.
