Peach Cheesecake Bars (Print)

These Peach and Cream Bars bring together creamy cheesecake, fresh peaches, and a buttery base for the perfect summer bite.

# Ingredients:

01 - 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted.
02 - 4 tablespoons granulated sugar.
03 - 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers.
04 - 16 ounces of softened cream cheese.
05 - 1 cup of white sugar.
06 - Two large eggs.
07 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
08 - 2 cups of peeled, sliced fresh peaches.
09 - 1 cup of whipped cream topping.
10 - Extra peach slices to decorate.

# Steps:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan with a light coat of grease.
02 - Combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter and sugar in a bowl. Stir until everything looks nicely coated.
03 - Firmly press your mixture into the prepared pan to create the base. Pop it in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, then let it cool down.
04 - Using a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
05 - Crack in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each. Add the vanilla and stir everything together.
06 - Carefully fold in the sliced peaches so they stay intact.
07 - Pour your cream cheese mix over the cooled crust base and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
08 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The center should jiggle slightly while the edges are firm.
09 - Take the pan out and let it cool down fully. Once cooled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or until the texture is set.
10 - Cut into bars once firm and top with extra peach slices and whipped cream, if you'd like.

# Notes:

01 - Cool and creamy bars with juicy peaches make a perfect summer bite. These are sweet yet tangy, just right for a light dessert.
