Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the peaches. Toss the fresh peach slices with brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into circles slightly larger than your tart molds.
Press the dough circles into greased tart molds, trimming any excess dough.
Arrange the peach slices over the tart dough, overlapping them slightly for a decorative effect.
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the peaches are soft and caramelized. Allow to cool completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to create a light cheesecake creme.
Once the tarts have cooled, dollop or pipe the cheesecake creme over the peaches.
Chill the peach tarts for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the tarts chilled and enjoy your Peach Tarts with Cheesecake Creme Topping!
