Caramel Peach Cheesecake
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
For the Caramel Sauce:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
For the Topping:
Fresh peach slices
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan and add hot water to the larger pan to create a water bath.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour.
4. Prepare the Caramel Sauce:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt sugar until it turns a golden amber color.
Slowly whisk in heavy cream (be careful as it may splatter).
Add butter and a pinch of salt, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
5. Assemble the Cheesecake:
Once the cheesecake is fully cooled, drizzle caramel sauce over the top.
Arrange fresh peach slices decoratively on top.
6. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Enjoy your rich and creamy caramel peach cheesecake!
