A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring a crumbly graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and fresh juicy peaches. Perfect for summer gatherings and last-minute dessert needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150 g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand.
  2. Press crust into pan: Transfer the crumb mixture into an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan. Use the bottom of a glass or your fingers to press firmly and evenly across the base. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add vanilla extract if using and mix until combined.
  4. Assemble the bars: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Arrange the sliced fresh peaches on top, overlapping slightly.
  5. Chill thoroughly: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to let the bars firm up.
  6. Serve: Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts to slice the bars cleanly.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Press crust firmly for sturdy bars. Chill bars for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results. Drain excess juice from peaches to avoid soggy crust. Dip knife in hot water and wipe between cuts for clean slices.
