A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring creamy cheesecake bars with fresh peaches and a crumbly graham cracker crust, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Make the peach puree: Place diced peaches in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth but slightly chunky (about 20 seconds).
  3. Prepare the filling: Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy (2-3 minutes). Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mix until combined.
  4. Add the peaches and cream: Gradually pour in peach puree and heavy cream while mixing on low speed until smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble the bars: Pour filling over chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Serve: Cut into 9 or 12 bars using a sharp knife, wiping the knife with a warm damp cloth between slices for clean cuts.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Blend peaches just enough to keep some texture. Chill bars overnight for best flavor and texture. For gluten-free crust, substitute graham crackers with almond flour or gluten-free cookies. For dairy-free, use vegan cream cheese and coconut oil.
