Equipment

  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

Shortbread

  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulate sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour

Cheesecake

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Top layer

  • 3 peaches thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp turbinado sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F.
  • Mix together the shortbread ingredients. Use a whisk for the butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla before switching to a spatula to incorporate the flour.
  • Press the shortbread dough into the bottom of a 9x9 pan, spreading it as evenly as possible.
  • Bake for 15 minutes and set aside.
  • While the shortbread is baking, use a stand mixer to combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.
  • Thinly slice 3 peaches and in a small bowl, combine the turbinado sugar and cinnamon.
  • Increase the temperature of your oven to 350°F.
  • Spread the cheesecake mixture over the shortbread layer and top with the sliced peaches, overlapping slightly as you go.
  • Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the shortbread are golden brown.
  • Cool on the counter for at least 30 minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator to finish setting. Alternatively, slice when it’s still warm if you prefer a gooey filling!
  • When fully cooled, slice, serve, and enjoy!
