Ingredients
- For the Caramelized Peach Topping:
- 2-3 peaches, underripe & sliced
- 2 tbsp non-dairy butter
- 3 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder or a cinnamon stick
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Biscuit Base:
- 125g digestive biscuits, crushed
- 1 tbsp cane sugar
- 60g butter, melted
- For the No-Bake Cheesecake Filling:
- 225g cream cheese, softened
- 100g powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 240ml whipped cream + 30g powdered sugar
- Prepare the Biscuit Base: Mix crushed biscuits, cane sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
- Caramelize the Peaches: In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the peach slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat until the peaches are tender (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the peaches and let them cool. Keep the peach caramel sauce separate.
- Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and cinnamon powder, mixing well. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well incorporated. Pour this filling over the chilled biscuit base. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
- Assemble and Serve: After chilling, release the cheesecake from the pan using an offset spatula. Top with caramelized peaches and sprinkle with crumble. Drizzle the reserved peach caramel sauce over the top just before serving.
Enjoy! Serve this luxurious Peach Crumb Cheesecake chilled, and revel in the creamy, crunchy, and caramelized symphony of flavors that make every bite a celebration of sweetness. Perfect for delighting guests or indulging in a quiet moment of dessert bliss!
