Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs About 12 full sheets, finely crushed
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter Melted
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz Cream cheese Softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream Very cold
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar Sifted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice Freshly squeezed
For the Peach Topping
  • 1 cup Peach preserves or jam High quality
  • 1/2 cup Fresh or canned peach slices Drained well and diced

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  2. Assemble the Crust Base: Divide the crumb mixture evenly among 6 small serving glasses or ramekins (about 1/4 cup mixture per cup). Press the mixture down firmly into the bottom of each glass to create a compact base.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, beating until smooth.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Layer and Chill: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust in each of the 6 cups. Smooth the tops slightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  6. Prepare and Top: Just before serving, gently mix the peach preserves/jam with the diced peach slices. Spoon the peach mixture generously over the chilled cheesecake filling in each cup.

Notes

For an extra touch, garnish with a small mint leaf or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving. If you prefer a smoother topping, simply warm the preserves slightly and drizzle over the top without mixing in fresh peaches.
