Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups diced canned or fresh peaches (drained if using canned)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Topping (Optional)

  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter until thoroughly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to create an even crust layer.
  2. Make the cheesecake batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
  3. Add the peaches: Toss the diced peaches with the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, then gently fold the peaches into the cheesecake batter to ensure they are evenly distributed without breaking apart.
  4. Assemble and bake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges have a slight golden hue.
  5. Cool and chill: Allow the cheesecake bars to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set fully before slicing into bars.
  6. Serve: If desired, top with whipped cream before serving for an extra creamy touch.

Notes

  • Use ripe fresh peaches when in season for optimal flavor and freshness.
  • If using canned peaches, make sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
  • These cheesecake bars keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container.
  • For easier slicing, chill the bars thoroughly before cutting.
