Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 150 grams gingernut biscuits, crushed
- 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
- 500 grams cream cheese, softened
- 150 grams caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 5 ml vanilla extract
For the peach topping:
- 300 grams peaches (fresh or canned, sliced)
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 5 grams ground cinnamon
- 2 grams ground nutmeg
- 10 ml lemon juice
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Prepare the crust:
- In a bowl, combine the crushed gingernut biscuits and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Press the mixture into the base of a springform pan (around 9 inches) to form an even crust. Set aside.
- Make the cheesecake filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and caster sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Prepare the peach topping:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced peaches, flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat the peaches evenly.
- Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the cheesecake filling.
- Bake the cheesecake:
- Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set, but the center is slightly wobbly.
- Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy the combination of creamy cheesecake and warm, spiced peaches!
Notes
- For a smoother cheesecake, ensure that the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing.
- If you’re using canned peaches, be sure to drain them well before adding to the topping mixture.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle a little extra ground cinnamon on top before serving.
- If you prefer a thicker peach topping, you can cook the peaches with a little sugar and cornstarch on the stove before adding them to the cheesecake.
