Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
- 2 large fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and mixture feels like wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan to create an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while making the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. Scrape down sides occasionally. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Prepare the peaches: Peel and dice peaches into small ¼ inch cubes. Reserve about one-third of the diced peaches for topping.
- Fold peaches into the filling: Gently fold two-thirds of the diced peaches into the cream cheese mixture, keeping some texture.
- Assemble the bars: Pour the peach and cream cheese filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved peach cubes evenly over the surface.
- Chill & set: Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up and meld flavors.
- Cut and serve: Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry before each cut for clean edges. Serve chilled, optionally with powdered sugar or whipped cream.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Press crust firmly and chill well to avoid crumbling. Pat peaches dry if very juicy to prevent soggy filling. Warm knife before slicing for clean edges. Can substitute gluten-free crumbs or vegan alternatives for dietary needs.
