How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your mouthwatering bars.

Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Combine

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking dish to form the crust.

Beat

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Pour

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust evenly. Make sure it’s uniformly spread to allow for even baking.

Toss

In another bowl, combine sliced peaches, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour. Toss to coat. Layer the peaches over the cream cheese mixture for a fruity topping.

Bake

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and the edges turn slightly golden. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-baking.

Cool

Allow to cool before slicing into bars. Enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness!

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Yes, for up to 3 months. Wrap well to prevent freezer burn.
Reheat: Microwave on low for 30-40 seconds or until warm.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for a smooth filling.
• Don’t skip the chilling time to allow flavors to develop.

• Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
• Great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside.
• Pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea for dessert time.
