Instructions

Preheat & Prepare:

- Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with a bit of butter or line with parchment paper for easy removal.

Make the Crust:

- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a measuring cup to ensure it's tightly packed.

- Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.

- Gradually add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well-combined.

- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

Make the Peach Layer:

- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.

- Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the peaches release their juices and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Assemble the Bars:

- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust in the baking pan.

- Spoon the peach mixture over the cheesecake layer, spreading it out evenly. Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the peach mixture slightly into the cheesecake for a marbled effect.

Freeze:

- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely firm.

Serve:

- Once solid, remove the cheesecake from the pan by lifting it out using the parchment paper.

- Slice into bars, serve with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh peach slices, and mint leaves for garnish if desired.

Enjoy your delightfully creamy and fruity Frozen Peach Cheesecake Bliss Bars!
