A delightful dessert combining creamy cheesecake with sweet peach compote over a crunchy graham cracker crust, perfect for warm days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup pecan halves or candied pecans, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 pound fresh or frozen sliced peaches
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whipped topping for garnish
- Candied pecans for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Evenly distribute the mixture among 8 individual serving dishes. Press the crumbs into the bottom of each dish and refrigerate to set.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk while mixing on low speed. Stir in vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides and mix for another 1-2 minutes. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping.
- Assemble the Cheesecakes: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts. Return to the refrigerator and let chill while preparing the peach compote.
- Prepare the Peach Compote: In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, combine sliced peaches, brown sugar, water, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until thickened. Allow to cool completely and refrigerate.
- Serve the Cheesecakes: Top each cheesecake with a spoonful of peach compote, a dollop of whipped topping, and candied pecans. Serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing, and thaw the whipped topping before use.
