Ingredients
For the Cookie Crust
- 200g cookies, crushed
- 60g butter, melted
For the Peach Filling
- 1 can peaches in syrup
- 300g cream cheese
- 200ml heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120ml) condensed milk
- 10g agar-agar
For the Peach Glaze
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon agar-agar
- 3 peach halves, reserved for decoration
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Crush the cookies into fine crumbs and combine them with the melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 20cm (8-inch) springform pan. For easier removal, line the sides of the pan with acetate or parchment paper.
Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Peaches
Drain the canned peaches, separating the peaches from the syrup.
Reserve three peach halves for decoration and cut the remaining peaches into small pieces.
Step 3: Make the Cream Filling
Pour the peach syrup into a saucepan.
Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, condensed milk, and agar-agar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for at least 1 minute while stirring continuously.
Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Quickly fold in the chopped peaches before the mixture begins to set.
Step 4: Assemble the Dessert
Pour the peach filling over the chilled cookie crust and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until fully set.
Step 5: Prepare the Peach Topping
Slice the reserved peach halves into thin decorative slices.
In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and agar-agar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature until it begins to thicken slightly.
Arrange the peach slices decoratively on top of the chilled dessert and carefully pour the glaze over them.
Step 6: Chill and Serve
Return the dessert to the refrigerator until the glaze is fully set.
Once chilled, remove from the pan, slice, and serve.
Tips for Success
- Work quickly after adding agar-agar, as it begins setting as it cools.
- Avoid refrigerating the glaze while cooling if you want a clear, glossy finish.
- Use ripe, high-quality canned peaches for the best flavor.
- Allow the dessert to chill completely before slicing for clean, beautiful servings.
