Step-by-Step Instructions for Peaches and Cream Mini Cheesecakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 325°F for mini cheesecake pans). Prepare the cheesecake pans by spraying with oil or lining with parchment paper. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, press into the bottom of each pan, and pre-bake for 5 minutes.
- In a blender, puree fresh or flash-frozen peaches until smooth. Measure out ½ cup puree, combine with cornstarch and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, a portion of sugar and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add remaining sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, heavy cream, and peach mixture until creamy.
- Tap mixing bowl on the counter to release air bubbles. Divide batter among crusts, filling about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes in mini cheesecake pans or 20-30 minutes in muffin tins until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
- Allow cheesecakes to cool in the pan for 1 hour. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- While chilling, whip heavy cream with sugar and optional gelatin until soft peaks form for topping.
- Once chilled, remove from pans, pipe whipped cream on top, and finish with peach jam or fresh peach slices before serving.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing, and avoid overmixing to prevent cracks in the cheesecakes.
