Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, crushed)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (room temperature)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and feel like wet sand. Add extra butter if too dry.
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of crumb mixture into each serving cup or jar. Press down firmly to create an even, compact layer. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Dice peaches and toss with honey and cinnamon if using. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  7. Spoon cheesecake filling evenly over graham cracker crust in each cup (about 1/3 cup per serving). Top with peach mixture and garnish with a peach slice or mint leaf.
  8. Refrigerate assembled cups for at least 2 hours before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

Soften cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps. Do not overwhip cream to prevent graininess. Press crust firmly for a solid base. Use fresh peaches for best flavor and texture. Chill for at least 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes if in a hurry, then soften before serving.
