Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a springform pan and bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool.

2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix until well blended.

3. Add eggs one at a time, beating gently after each. Do not overmix.

4. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top and gently tap to remove air bubbles.

5. Bake for 50–60 minutes until center is set but slightly jiggly. Let sit in oven for 1 hour with door slightly open.

6. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

7. In a saucepan, combine sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook until thickened and glossy.

8. Cool the peach topping, then spoon over the chilled cheesecake.

9. Garnish with whipped cream and mint leaves if desired. Slice and serve.

Notes

Make sure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest filling.

Don’t rush the chilling step—overnight gives best results.

Use a hot, clean knife for neat cheesecake slices.
