This rich, decadent cake, topped with the season's freshest peaches, is surprising simple to whip up and sure to wow!
If there is one thing everyone can agree on, it's cheesecake.
It is an irresistible dessert that is suitable for almost any occasion.
This may be one of my favorite cheesecakes made thus far. It's texture is velvety and smooth, and who can deny fruit toppings?
Note however, if you do not have any peaches on hand, the topping can be made with berries or even pineapple.

Make 50 individual desserts each mo for Dr.office visit but have to make night before appointment day. Will I need to add something to prevent discoloration of peaches. going to use puff pastry with cheesecake filling. Recipe looks great especially for those who love to work with fresh fruit. Our peach season is about a month away.
