Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup sour cream

1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned peaches, drained)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the peach cream topping:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup fresh peaches, sliced for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly while preparing the filling.

    Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until well combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until incorporated.

      Incorporate peaches: Toss the diced peaches with cornstarch to coat them lightly. Gently fold the peaches into the cheesecake mixture. Pour this filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.

        Bake the cheesecake bars: Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to firm up.

          Prepare the peach cream topping: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks are formed.

            Assemble the bars: Once the cheesecake has set, spread the peach cream topping evenly over the top. Garnish with fresh sliced peaches for presentation.

              Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy chilled. These cheesecake bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
