Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar. Mix until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan evenly.
- Bake the crust in the oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool.
Cheesecake Layer
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then add the granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just blended.
- Arrange the sliced peaches evenly over the cooled crust. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the top, spreading it out evenly.
Baking
- Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cheesecake has set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
- Allow the cheesecake bars to cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate them for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
Serving
- Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
Notes
Use fresh peaches for the best flavor. Avoid overmixing the cheesecake ingredients to keep the bars light and fluffy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
