Sure – here is how to do that.
Can I Use Fresh Peaches?
Yes, you can certainly use fresh peaches. However, you will need to roast them before adding them to the cheesecake and before topping the chilled cheesecake. If using fresh peaches, you will need a total of 5-6 peaches. To roast the peaches, first, slice 3 peaches and lay them in a single layer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the peaches with 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Bake for about 10-15 minutes at 400°F, or until they reach your desired texture. Wait until the cheesecake has completely chilled before roasting the other half of the peaches for the topping.
