Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham crackers
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
- 250 grams cream cheese, softened
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 4 medium fresh peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for peaches)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 30 grams slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the crust. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin. Transfer to a bowl.
Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and granulated sugar (for crust) until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
In another bowl, toss the thinly sliced peaches with granulated sugar (for peaches) and lemon juice. This will enhance their flavor and keep them from browning.
To assemble the dessert, spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Layer half of the sliced peaches on top of the cream cheese layer.
Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture and peaches to create a second layer.
If desired, sprinkle the top with slivered almonds for an added crunch and decorative touch.
Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together.
Slice into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing and delightful treat!
