Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Fruits:
- 4 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup peach preserves
Dairy and Cheese:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Dry and Baking Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl, pressing the mixture firmly into the pan’s base to create a compact crust.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth, gradually incorporating sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until the mixture becomes silky and well-integrated.
- Sprinkle cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon into the cheesecake batter, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
- Arrange fresh peach slices in an artistic layer across the prepared crust, gently pouring the cream cheese mixture over the fruit.
- Drizzle peach preserves in swirling patterns across the top of the cheesecake batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, watching for a slight jiggle in the center while the edges appear set and lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 2 hours.
- Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld and texture to firm up completely.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh peach slices and a light dusting of ground cinnamon.
Notes
- Select ripe, fragrant peaches for maximum flavor depth and natural sweetness in the cheesecake.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, lump-free cheesecake batter with perfect consistency.
- Control moisture by patting peach slices dry before arranging them, preventing excess liquid from making the crust soggy.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or gluten-free graham crackers for the crust to accommodate dietary restrictions.
