I got this from a neighbor while living in Germany and modified it a little. She was an American too. This was always a hit at every get-together we had! Fresh cranberries with jalapenos, sugar, green onions, and cilantro makes for great salsa. Add the cream cheese and you have a great dip! Serve with Ritz® crackers or Wheat Thins®.

No-Bake Peach Cheesecake With Wheat Thins Crust image

The salty-sweet crust on this no-bake peach cheesecake recipe is not to be missed. This is the best summer dessert-no oven required.

Provided by Rebecca Firkser

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups Wheat Thins (about 6½ oz.)
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled
12 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
6 Tbsp. sour cream or plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
6 Tbsp. powdered sugar
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1½ tsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract, divided
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided
6 Tbsp. chilled heavy cream
½ cup peach or apricot jam
3 large peaches, thinly sliced
¼ cup (packed) light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Line bottom of a 9"-diameter pie dish or springform pan with a parchment paper round. Pulse 3 cups Wheat Thins (about 6½ oz.) in a food processor until finely ground. Add 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt and pulse to combine. With motor running, drizzle in ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled, and process until combined and crumbly. (Alternatively, you can crush crackers in a large resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in sugar and salt, then butter.)
  • Transfer mixture to prepared pan and press firmly into bottom and halfway up sides with a flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass. Chill crust in freezer while you make the filling, at least 30 minutes. Do ahead: Crust can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed or a large whisk, beat 12 oz. cream cheese, room temperature, and 6 Tbsp. sour cream or plain whole-milk Greek yogurt in a large bowl until very smooth. Add 6 Tbsp. powdered sugar, 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract, and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt and beat until incorporated.
  • Using clean beaters or whisk, beat 6 Tbsp. chilled heavy cream in a small until stiff peaks form. Vigorously stir ½ cup peach or apricot jam in another small bowl with a spoon to loosen. Using a rubber spatula, fold whipped cream and jam into cream cheese mixture.
  • Spoon filling into chilled crust and spread into an even layer. Cover cheesecake and chill at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours. (If you are in a hurry, you can freeze 2 hours, then chill in refrigerator 3 hours).
  • Just before serving, toss 3 large peaches, thinly sliced, ¼ cup (packed) light brown sugar, remaining ½ tsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract, and remaining ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a medium bowl. Let sit until juicy, 30-40 minutes.
  • Slice cheesecake into wedges, wiping knife clean between cuts, and top with peach mixture. Do Ahead: Cheesecake (without peach topping) can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled, or freeze up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your dish.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. This will make it easier to spread and mix.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use of fresh herbs.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
  • Bake the crackers until they are just golden brown. This will help to prevent them from becoming too dry.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese and wheat thins are a classic combination that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving them as an appetizer, snack, or dessert, these crackers are sure to be a hit. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you love.
