CHEESECAKE WITH FRESH PEACH TOPPING

Steps:

• 1. Peel, pit and slice peaches. Toss the peached into a bowl with brown sugar and transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, process graham crackers and butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press to the bottom of an 8-inch cake pan (if you do not have a spring foam pan) and blind bake for about 5-8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled, wrap the cake pan in aluminum foil and place into a pan. Fill the pan with water until the water reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Without cleaning out the food processor, combine all ingredients for the cheesecake filling. Process until the mixture is light and creamy. Pour into the prepared cake pan. Bake the cheesecake for about 40-45 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven, then carefully remove the cake dish from the pan. Remove the foil and transfer to a wire rack, allowing it to cool completely. Top with fresh peaches. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving.

FRESH PEACH CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• 1. Crust: Add butter to graham cracker crumbs and stir until evenly moistened. Press crumbs over bottom and 1 inch up sides of a 9 inch spring form pan. Bake crust at 350 degrees about 8 minutes or until crust is beginning to brown. Cool on rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
• 2. Filling: Combine peaches, 2 tbsp. sugar, and lemon juice in heavy large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and peaches are juicy, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until peaches are tender and juices thicken, about 5 minutes. Cool compote.
• 3. Using, electric mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl until fluffy. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups sugar and beat until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Spoon half of cheese mixture (about 3 cups) into crust. Spoon peach compote over by tablespoonfuls, spacing apart. Top with remaining cheese mixture.
• 4. Place large piece of foil on oven rack. Place pan with cheesecake on foil. Bake until puffed, set in center, and beginning to brown, about 1 1/4 hours. Place hot cheesecake on rack; cool 5 minutes, then run small sharp knife around pan sides to loose. Place cheesecake, uncovered, on rack in refrigerator and chill overnight. Can make up to 2 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
• 5. GLAZE: Combine preserves and lemon juice in heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until glaze comes to a simmer. Strain into a small bowl. Release pan sides; place cheesecake on platter. Spread glaze over top of cheesecake to within 1/4 inch of edge. Chill cheesecake until glaze sets., at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours. Arrange peach slices in center of cake. To prevent cheesecake from splitting on top, place a shallow pan of water into the oven while cheesecake is baking.
