Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Craft a buttery graham cracker foundation by blending crumbs, sweetener, and melted butter, pressing firmly into a springform pan. Toast the crust in a preheated oven until golden, then allow to cool completely.
- Create a velvety cheesecake base by whipping cream cheese and granulated sugar until silky smooth. Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring each is fully integrated. Fold in vanilla extract and sour cream until the mixture reaches a luxurious, creamy consistency.
- Submerge the cheesecake pan in a water bath, protecting it from direct heat. Bake until the center exhibits a gentle wobble, indicating perfect custard-like texture. Remove and permit natural cooling.
- Transform fresh peaches into a luscious compote by simmering with brown sugar, warming spices, cornstarch, and a splash of citrus. Cook until the mixture thickens and develops a rich, glossy appearance. Set aside to cool.
- Develop a rustic crumble topping by combining flour, brown sugar, cold butter, and ground cinnamon. Work the ingredients with fingertips until they resemble coarse, sandy texture.
- Lavishly spread the peach compote across the cooled cheesecake surface. Generously scatter the crumble mixture, ensuring even distribution. Return to the oven for a brief final bake to caramelize and crisp the topping.
- Allow the dessert to reach room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours. This resting period allows flavors to meld and ensures a perfectly set, elegant dessert ready for indulgence.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, lump-free cheesecake filling and even mixing.
- Wrap the springform pan with aluminum foil before placing in the water bath to prevent water seepage and potential soggy crust.
- For gluten-free version, substitute graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free cookie crumbs or almond flour.
- Adjust sweetness by using fresh, ripe peaches or adding less sugar in the topping for a more natural fruit flavor.
