Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups sliced fresh peaches
- 2 cups sliced fresh plums
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Finishing Ingredient:
- 1/4 cup peach jelly, melted for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a delectable base by blending graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until thoroughly incorporated. Press the mixture compactly into a 9-inch springform pan, creating a uniform foundation. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to solidify the crust.
- Whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture. In a separate vessel, whip heavy cream to stiff, billowy peaks. Delicately fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining its airy consistency.
- Carefully distribute half of the cream cheese blend over the chilled crust, ensuring an even surface. Artfully arrange thinly sliced peaches and plums across the initial layer. Gently pour the remaining cream cheese mixture, completely concealing the fruit beneath a smooth cream landscape.
- Embellish the cheesecake’s surface with additional peach and plum slices, creating an elegant, colorful mosaic. Drizzle warm peach jelly across the top, imparting a luminous, glossy sheen. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours until the dessert sets completely and reaches optimal serving temperature.
- Slice and serve, savoring the harmonious fusion of sweet summer stone fruits and creamy cheesecake essence.
Notes
- Choose graham crackers with subtle honey notes to enhance the fruit’s natural sweetness.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother, lump-free filling that blends effortlessly.
- Pat fresh peaches and plums dry before layering to prevent excess moisture from making the cheesecake soggy.
- Opt for ripe but firm fruits that hold their shape during baking and provide vibrant color contrast.
