For Father’s Day I wanted to make a dessert for my Dad that would knock his socks off. There are two things I know that my Dad absolutely loves, and that’s pound cake and peaches. I made him a Peach Pound Cake awhile back so I so I wanted to come up with something different. So what to do, what to do? When in doubt, go big. So I decided to make two desserts – a pound cake and a peach dessert.
My Dad said this No Bake Peach Cheesecake was delicious! I’m so glad I chose this recipe to make for him. It was fresh and tasty and perfect.
It’s been stinkin’ hot here in the Pacific Northwest. (Like, unnaturally hot!) So I love that this is a no bake dessert.
Make your cookie layer.
Add your cheesecake layer.
Now make your sauce. Mine wasn’t thickening up at all so I added a packet of unflavored gelatin. That seemed to do the trick. Pour the sauce over the cheesecake layer and place in the fridge. Please note – my peaches were ripe and yummy. For some reason they look green in this picture.
I wish my pictures were better. I took this dessert to my brother’s house and didn’t think it would be good to cut a square out of it first.
Thank you to No Biggie for this amazing recipe!
