Ingredients

Crust:

• 2 cups Milton’s Gluten Free Crispy Sea Salt Crackers
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• 10 Tbsp melted butter

Filling:

• 1 cup peaches
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 (8 oz) packets of cream cheese
• ½ tsp almond extract
• 2 large eggs

Peach Glaze:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1–2 large peaches

Instructions

1. Preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Prepare a water bath by adding ½ inch of water to a large pan. Place the pan in the oven.

2. Making the Crust:

• In a food processor, blend Milton’s Gluten Free Crispy Sea Salt Crackers until finely ground into crumbs.
• Transfer crumbs to a bowl, stir in sugar, and mix well. Add the melted butter and stir until combined.
• Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, lining the bottom and sides evenly.
• Place in the refrigerator until ready to add the filling.

3. Making the Peach Filling:

• Blend 1 cup of peaches until smooth.
• In a food processor or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
• Add the almond extract, then mix in the eggs one at a time, just until incorporated. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the cheesecake to crack.
• Fold in the blended peaches.
• Pour the filling into the prepared crust, leaving a little space at the top.
• Place the cheesecake in the water bath and bake for 1 hour.
• Once baked, let it cool, then refrigerate overnight.

4. Making the Peach Glaze:

• In a small pot, bring the water and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by half and becomes thick.
• Let the glaze cool in the refrigerator.
• Slice the peaches and arrange them on top of the cooled cheesecake in your desired pattern. Drizzle the cooled glaze over the peaches to finish.

Serving Suggestions:

This peach cheesecake is perfect for summer gatherings, weekend celebrations, or anytime you're in the mood for a sweet treat. Pair it with a glass of sparkling water or herbal tea for a refreshing finish!
