No Bake Vanilla Cheesecake:
- 3 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar plus 1/4 cup more if sweeter cheesecake desired
- ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Extras:
- 8 oz whipped cream for topping or swirls
- Cinnamon for dusting
- Whole pecans
- Caramel sauce or salted caramel sauce Ghirardelli recommended
Make the peach filling: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Cook 10-12 minutes, stirring often, until peaches soften, release juices, and the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
Make the graham cracker crust: In a food processor or using a rolling pin and bag, crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. In a bowl, mix crumbs with sugar and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment. Chill while preparing cheesecake.
Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla. Fold or beat in whipped cream on low until combined.
Assemble: Spread half the cheesecake mixture into the crust. Add half the peach filling and drizzle caramel over top, swirling lightly with a knife. Repeat with remaining cheesecake mixture, then top with remaining peach filling. Drizzle more caramel and swirl again.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate 4–6 hours (preferably overnight) until set.
Finish and serve: Pipe whipped cream on top, garnish with pecans, and dust with cinnamon if desired. Slice and enjoy.
- For a sweeter peach filling, add up to 1 more tablespoon brown sugar.
- Canned peaches can be used in a pinch, just drain well before cooking.
- If using frozen peaches, thaw first and drain excess liquid before cooking down.
- For clean slices, run a knife under hot water, dry, then cut.
