Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 500 grams cream cheese, softened
- 200 grams sour cream
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 3 medium fresh peaches, sliced
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 50 milliliters heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 50 grams of granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and 150 grams of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble.
Turn off the oven and prop the door open slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Once cooled, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
Before serving, arrange the sliced peaches neatly over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peaches in an artistic pattern, or as desired.
Slice and serve your Cheesecake with Peaches and Chocolate. Enjoy!
