Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until creamy and well combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
- Arrange sliced peaches on top, optionally swirling some into the cheesecake layer.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Let bars cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or canned peaches based on availability and preference.
- Try vanilla wafer or shortbread crust for variation.
- Swirl in peach jam for added fruit flavor.
- Top with whipped cream or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
- Chill thoroughly for clean slicing and best texture.
