Equipment

  • 9x9-inch square pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Offset Spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 16 full sheets, pulverized
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt

For the Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks

For the Peach Topping

  • 4 ripe peaches thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons peach preserves
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9x9-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the prepared pan, creating an even layer. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to compress the crust.
  • Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until completely smooth and free of lumps (about 2 minutes). Add sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, continuing to beat until light and fluffy.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, maintaining a light touch with each fold.
  • Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Tap the pan gently against the counter 2-3 times to release any trapped air bubbles.
  • In a medium bowl, gently toss peach slices with lemon juice and cinnamon (if using). In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the peach preserves for 15-20 seconds until runny, then brush over the peach slices.
  • Arrange the glazed peach slices over the cheesecake layer in an overlapping pattern. Cover carefully with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature to avoid lumps.
The bars can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For cleaner slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe clean between cuts.
