Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Fresh peaches
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 10 sheets Graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Place the sliced peaches in a bowl, sprinkle them with granulated sugar and lemon juice, and toss to combine. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes to release their juices.
While the peaches are macerating, prepare the crust. Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. If you don't have a food processor, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and the melted butter, mixing until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to compact it firmly. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined and smooth.
Remove the crust from the refrigerator and spread the cream filling evenly over the crust using a spatula.
Drain the excess liquid from the peaches and arrange the peach slices on top of the cream filling in a decorative pattern.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to let it set properly. This step is crucial for the flavors and textures to meld together.
When ready to serve, garnish with mint leaves if desired. Slice into squares and enjoy this delightful peach cream dessert!
