Kitchen Equipment Needed

  • Mixing bowls: For combining the crust and filling ingredients.

How to Make No-Bake Peach Cheesecake

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to compact it.
  3. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  5. Fold in the diced peaches, being careful not to overmix.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the cheesecake is fully set (overnight is best for optimal firmness).

Step 4: Add the Topping

  1. Once the cheesecake is set, remove it from the springform pan.
  2. Arrange fresh peach slices on top of the cheesecake as desired.
  3. Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Tips and Variations

Storage: Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Fruit Variations: Feel free to substitute peaches with other fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for different flavor profiles. You can also create a mixed berry topping!

Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and coconut whipped cream.

Add Zest: For a citrusy kick, add a teaspoon of lemon or lime zest to the cheesecake filling.
