Graham Cracker Base
1 cup graham crackers, finely crushed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Creamy Cheesecake Layer
16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Peach Center
1 cup peaches, sliced (fresh, thawed frozen, or well-drained canned)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Crumble Garnish
1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Caramel Finish
1/4 cup caramel sauce
Directions
Prepare the crust
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each lined muffin cup or mini cheesecake pan cavity. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to set, or bake at 325°F (163°C) for 8 minutes for a firmer crust, then cool completely.
Make the cheesecake filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until light and airy.
Cook the peach filling
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sliced peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir gently and cook for about 4–5 minutes until the peaches soften. Add the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
Assemble the cheesecakes
Spoon a layer of cheesecake filling over each chilled crust. Add a spoonful of cooled peach filling in the center. Cover with more cheesecake filling and smooth the tops evenly.
Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
Prepare the crumble topping
Mix crushed wafers, brown sugar, and melted butter with a fork until crumbly. For extra crunch, bake at 325°F (163°C) for 5–7 minutes and cool before using, or leave unbaked for a softer texture.
Finish and serve
Top each cheesecake with additional peach slices if desired, sprinkle with crumble topping, and drizzle with caramel sauce just before serving.

FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes. Thaw them completely and drain excess liquid before cooking to prevent the filling from becoming watery.
Can I make these cheesecakes ahead of time?
Yes. They can be prepared up to 2–3 days in advance. Add toppings right before serving.
How do I prevent lumps in the cheesecake filling?
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
Can I make this recipe as one large cheesecake?
Yes. Use an 8-inch springform pan and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Why didn’t my cheesecakes set properly?
They likely need more chilling time. Refrigerate for a full 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Can I skip the caramel topping?
Yes. They are delicious even without caramel, or you can substitute with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
How do I remove mini cheesecakes easily from the pan?
Use paper liners or a mini cheesecake pan with removable bottoms for easy release.
Can I use store-bought caramel sauce?
Yes. A good-quality caramel sauce works perfectly and saves time.
What if my peach filling is too runny?
Cook it slightly longer to allow it to thicken, and remember it will continue thickening as it cools.
Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
Full-fat cream cheese provides the best texture, but low-fat can be used. The final result may be slightly softer.
