Peachy Summer Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• Grease and line the sides of a 9-inch (20 cm) round springform pan with parchment paper.
• Add the shortbread cookies to a food processor. Pulse until finely crushed. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined.
• Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to the springform pan. Use a spatula or measuring cup to press the cookie crumbs down to form an even base. Freeze for 10 minutes.
• Add 2-3 quartered peaches (depending on size) to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
• In a small bowl, combine ½ cup (120 ml) cold water and 2 packets of gelatin. Let the gelatin bloom for 5 minutes, until the water is mostly absorbed. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until the gelatin is melted.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1¼ cups (250 G) sugar, the vanilla, and lemon juice together with an electric hand mixer until combined.
• Add the heavy cream and melted gelatin and beat for another 2-3 minutes, until well combined and fluffy.
• Spread half the cheesecake mixture over the chilled cookie crust. Freeze for 10 minutes.
• Mix 1 cup (255 G) of the strained peach puree and orange food coloring, if desired, into the remaining cheesecake mixture. Carefully pour the mixture over the first layer of cheesecake. Spread evenly and freeze for another 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup (120 ML) cold water with the remaining 2 packages of gelatin. Let the gelatin bloom for 5 minutes, until the water is mostly absorbed. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until the gelatin is melted.
• Combine the gelatin mixture, hot water, and the remaining ⅔ cup (135 G) sugar and whisk to dissolve the sugar. Slowly pour into the prosecco and stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Skim off any foam that rises to the top. Set aside.
• Starting from the outside and working inward, arrange the sliced peaches over the peach cheesecake layer in a circular pattern with the curved sides facing out. Begin with the larger slices, overlapping slightly, and continue until the entire surface is filled.
• Spoon half of the prosecco gelatin over the peaches. Carefully transfer to the refrigerator and let set for 30 minutes. Pour the remaining prosecco gelatin over the peaches up to the rim of the pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Release the springform and remove the parchment, then slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line the bottom and sides of a 9-in. round baking pan with parchment. Pour butter into prepared pan; sprinkle with brown sugar. Slice 2 peaches and arrange in a single layer over brown sugar., In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until blended. Chop remaining peach; fold into batter. Spoon over peach slices. Place cake pan in a larger baking pan; add 1 in. of hot water to larger pan. , Bake until center is just set and top appears dull, 65-75 minutes. Remove cake pan from water bath. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides from pan with a knife. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled. Invert onto a serving plate.

Steps:

• Place trivet insert and 1 cup water in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Grease a 6-in. springform pan; place on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Wrap securely around pan., In a large bowl, beat cream cheeses and sugar until smooth. Beat in sour cream, apple juice, flour and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until blended. Pour into prepared pan. Cover pan with foil. Fold an 18x12-in. piece of foil lengthwise into thirds, making a sling. Use the sling to lower the pan onto the trivet., Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 30 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. Using foil sling, carefully remove springform pan. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove foil from pan. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack 1 hour., Loosen sides from pan with a knife. Refrigerate overnight, covering when cooled. To serve, remove rim from springform pan. Serve with peaches.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
• Stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt for crust in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Press crumb mixture along the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Leave the oven on.
• Prepare the cheesecake while crust cools: Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low until just combined after each addition. Beat in flour and salt on low until just combined. Beat in bourbon and preserves on low until just combined. Fold in chopped peaches until just combined. Pour filling into the cooled crust.
• Gently jiggle pan to smooth top. Place cheesecake in a plastic slow cooker liner; transfer to a large roasting pan. (Or double wrap the springform pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.) Place roasting pan in the oven. Pour warm water into the roasting pan to come halfway up sides of pan, making sure you do not get any water into the slow cooker liner.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake is just set on top, about 35 minutes.
• While cheesecake bakes, prepare the topping: Beat butter and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg, beating on low until just combined. Whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl; add to butter mixture with mixer on low, beating until just combined.
• Open the oven door and carefully slide out rack with cheesecake without removing from oven. Carefully dollop topping mixture by spoonfuls over cheesecake. Carefully slide rack back in and close oven.
• Continue baking until topping is golden on top and cheesecake is almost set in center, about 1 hour. Turn oven off and prop oven door ajar about 1 inch. Let cheesecake stand in oven for 1 hour.
• Remove cheesecake from oven and remove from roasting pan. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove cheesecake from the liner and transfer to the refrigerator. Chill, uncovered, at least 6 hours or up to 12 hours. Remove metal collar from cheesecake before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil and line a 20cm round springform, deep tin so that the parchment comes 5cm above the rim. Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb, or put in a tightly sealed sandwich bag and bash with a rolling pin. Tip into a bowl and stir through the sugar and butter, then tightly pack into the tin. Bake for 10 mins, then leave to cool completely.
• For the streusel, mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Gradually drizzle in the melted butter, stirring with a fork to combine, until the mixture has formed into clumps. Mix the streusel with the nuts and chill until needed.
• Beat together the cream cheese, mascarpone, soured cream, golden caster sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl using a wooden spoon until smooth. Gently fold through the flour using a large metal spoon. Pour the mixture gently into the tin. Top with the streusel and bake for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins or until set with a vigorous wobble in the middle. Turn off the oven and open the oven door, leave to cool for 2 hrs, then transfer to the fridge to chill overnight.
• Destone and slice the peaches into quarters. Line a roasting tin with baking parchment and put the peaches in the tin. Sprinkle over the sugar, lemon and vanilla, and cover with a layer of parchment. Bake for 15-20 mins or until soft but holding their shape. Leave to cool completely.
• Gently push the cheesecake out of the tin and top with the peaches. Slice and serve. Will keep for three days in the fridge.

Steps:

• Line the base and sides of a 20cm loose-bottomed or springform tin with baking parchment - use smudges of butter to help the paper stay in place around the sides. Put the biscuits in a plastic food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin, then mix thoroughly with the melted butter. Tip into the prepared tin and press down firmly to create an even base. Chill while you prepare the filling.
• Put the soft cheese, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Tip in the cream and continue beating until mixture is combined. Scatter over 100g of the raspberries and half of the peach chunks. Using a spatula, fold in with just a few folds - as you assemble the cheesecake they'll ripple through more.
• Spoon the cream mixture onto the biscuit base, working from the edges inwards. Smooth the top of the cheesecake down with the back of a dessertspoon or spatula. Leave to set in the fridge overnight.
• In a food processor, blitz 250g of the remaining raspberries, sieve, stir back in 1 tsp of the seeds, if you like, and sweeten to taste with icing sugar. Add enough water or canned peach juice to make it saucy and chill until serving.
• Bring the cheesecake to room temperature about 30 mins before serving. If using a loose-bottomed tin, unmould by placing on top of a can, then gradually pull down the sides of the tin. Slip the cheesecake onto a serving plate, removing the lining paper and base. Scatter the remaining raspberries and peach chunks over the cheesecake, dribble over some of the sauce and serve the rest alongside.

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
• Spoon confectioners' sugar into cream cheese and beat until fully incorporated.
• Beat vanilla and peach preserves into cream cheese mixture until combined.
• Fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture until evenly smooth.
• Divide cream cheese mixture between the two prepared graham cracker crusts and spread evenly. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.
