Get ready for a burst of summer with Peaches and Cream Cheesecake Bars. They've got a creamy layer on top, loads of buttery graham cracker crunch underneath, and they're packed with tender peach slices all throughout. The peach slices make it naturally sweet and keep things bright, while the creamy filling feels super rich and dreamy in every single square.
INGREDIENTS- Fresh peaches: 2 cups, peeled and sliced
- Graham cracker crumbs: 1 ½ cups
- Cream cheese: 16 oz, softened
- Whipped cream: 1 cup, for topping
- Sugar: 1 cup, for the filling
- Eggs: 2 large, at room temperature
- Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
- Unsalted butter: ½ cup, melted
- Sugar: ¼ cup, for the crust
- Extra peach slices: for garnish
- Step 2:
- Grab a medium mixing bowl and toss in melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and the ¼ cup of sugar. Stir it all up until you’ve got a crumbly mix.
- Step 1:
- Flip on your oven and set it for 350°F (175°C). Slick a 9x9 inch pan with some nonstick spray or butter so nothing sticks.
- Stick any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge—they'll stay tasty for about 4 days. Pop them in the freezer if you wanna save them—good for up to 2 months that way.
- Top each chilled square with a big spoonful of whipped cream and a couple of peach slices just before serving. Looks awesome and adds more peachy kick.
- If you want, sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg into the crust for a tasty boost.
Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- If you let your cream cheese sit out till it’s soft, you’ll end up with a way smoother mix—thanks, Chef Emily!
For perfect bars, pull them from the oven when the edge looks firm but the middle still gives a little wobble. That’s your sign it’ll finish setting nice and creamy in the fridge.
Why Go with Fresh Peaches for This TreatFresh, ripe peaches just mix way better with the filling and pump these bars full of that sweet, juicy flavor. Canned ones can work if that’s what you’ve got, but real peaches make these bars pop.
FAQsCan I swap in canned peaches?
You sure can. Just make sure to drain them super well or you’ll end up with a soggy filling.
How do I keep them fresh?
Just keep them sealed tight in your fridge for a few days. Or if you wanna keep them longer, stash them in the freezer for a couple months.
